NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR:
SUMMER 2020 (MAY - AUGUST) AND SEPTEMBER 2020 - APRIL 2021

The UCM Bernice Gerard House is the on-campus home for UCM at UBC. This house is a core part of our campus ministry and acts as the central hub of the wider community. We maintain this house for 6-7 male residents seeking to engage in peer-to-peer discipleship and participate with UCM at UBC as leaders in the community. Our hope is to cultivate a space where the residents can flourish in their walk with God. UCM is happy to be in partnership with the PCDA (Pacific Centre for Discipleship Association) in this mission.
The men who live in this house are expected to "consider how [they] may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:24-25), and to be "iron sharpening iron" (Proverbs 27:17). For this purpose, we require that residents be committed to living according to Christian biblical principles as followers of Christ.
Rent will be between $400 - $650 per month depending on room assignment. This amount is inclusive of utilities and internet. It does not include any parking spaces.
Our priority will be in housing current UBC students. However, all people affiliated with the UBC campus in some way are welcome to apply as well. Housing offers will be decided based on the information provided in this application, personal/pastoral references, and in-person (or phone call/video chat) interviews.
For more information or specific inquiries, please contact
staff@ucmonline.ca or any of the UCM at UBC staff members.
Thank you for your interest in participating in this ministry and taking the time to complete this application. You can expect to hear back from a staff person soon with next steps and further details.
