Doulos Leadership Team: 

The student leadership team act as the elected executive team of the UCM club at UBCO. They are here to serve the campus and help realize our mission on campus. A nickname we affectionately use for the team is the Greek word “Doulos”, which means servant slave; and is meant to describe the primary quality out of which our leadership team seeks to lead (Mark 10:43-45).

Core Group Leaders:

Core Groups are a place to belong and become more like Jesus. A Core Group is a group of 6-12 students led by two Core Group Leaders. On a weekly basis, our Core Group Leaders facilitate discussion on Scripture, encourage building relationships through engaging in social events with their Core Group, and initiate activities that allow their Core Group to serve the campus (Acts 2:42-47).

Core Groups are on pause for the UBCO Summer Terms and will resume in September 2024. However, if you’re interested in summer UCM, please fill in the following form to join the WhatsApp Group Chat and be informed of our summer ministry events! (Get Connected This Summer!)

Core Group Start date for September 2024 and all our Core Leaders will be posted here once we’ve confirmed new schedules!


Campus Ministers: 

Our Campus Ministers make themselves available to the campus community for mentoring, pastoral care, and spiritual direction.

Pastor Josh Hufemia is our local Campus Ministry Director and oversees each ministry area of UCM at UBCO with the help of all the student leaders above. Reverend James Perreaux, based in Kelowna, is UCM’s BC Regional Coordinator, overseeing all 7 UCM campuses in the province of British Columbia. James also acts as the Pentecostal Chaplain at UBCO (UNC 316).
