Second Semester Thursday Night Gatherings
January 2026: Purposefully Commissioned
Jesus Christ lived His life—through His ministry, death, and resurrection—with a clear purpose: to save humanity from the penalty of sin and reconcile us to the Father, offering eternal life through faith in Him (Romans 6:23). The work on the cross is finished (John 19:30). And yet, after His resurrection, Jesus sent and purposefully commissioned His disciples (John 20:21). In the same way, we are called to make disciples of all nations, to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and to teach others to obey all that Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:16–20).
Join us this month as we explore what it means to be Purposefully Commissioned—learning why and how we are called to carry out the Great Commission on campus and in our world.
January 8: Living Out Our Baptism (Rev. Dr. Todd Statham)
January 15: SENTness (Rev. James Perreaux)

February 5, 2026
This semester, we’ll be hosting an evolved edition of our Pizza Nights—Tough Questions Thursday (TQT)!
You have a chance to submit we questions you have regarding Christianity at ucmokanagan.com/tqt. On that Thursday, we will enjoy free pizza, respond to the questions with what the Bible has to say, then open the floor up for discussion.
Come with curiosity and an appetite for dialogue and pizza! We hope to see you there.
February 2026: The Greatest Commandment
Out of all the commandments recorded in Scripture, Jesus cites these two as the greatest ones: (1) to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and (2) to love our neighbour as ourselves (Mark 12:29-31). How did the Israelites understand and practice these laws in their culture? How does Jesus desire for us to obey these commands? Join us in this 2-part series as we examine these - the Greatest Commandments - more closely to continue growing in our love for God and for others.
Feb 12: The Shema (Rev. Dr. Todd Statham)
Feb 19: No UCM (Reading Break)

March 2026: Formed for the Future
University life is more than just about getting your degree; it is also a season of formation. UCM’s Vision is to see transformation in the lives of university and college students, the marketplace, and the world through Christ. We want to help you follow Jesus faithfully during your time at UBCO, but we also want to prepare you for what comes after, helping you create rhythms of life, learn how to steward your resources, and continue to be on mission wherever God calls you next.
Join us this month as we explore what it means to be Formed For the Future right now.
