Weekly Meetings of the UCU IHM Campus Chapter

Weekly meetings take place at 10:30 each Tuesday at the UCU Chapel (unless otherwise indicated).

Meetings are a time for sharing on justice issues, strategic planning, prayer, Bible study, and fellowship.

Please join us if you have a heart and passion for Godly Justice.

IJM Campus Chapter Member Training

In order to become a full member in UCU's IJM Campus Chapter you must complete the requisite training offered by International Justice Mission Uganda.

The training is a two part process.

First, there will be general training on International Justice Mission (approximately 1 to 2 hours in length) offered at Uganda Christian University at a future Campus Chapter meeting.

Second, there are regular offerings of a four hour community training session conducted by IJM Uganda. These sessions focus on the issue of property grabbing and related legal issues.

There will be community training session on February 24, 25 and 26 at a location in Mukono District. The sessions will run from 9:00 to 1:00. We hope to provide transportation to one or more of those sessions to students who would like to attend. Future sessions should be offered in the Mukono District at least once a month.

More details will be provided on this blog and at regular chapter meetings.
