About Emmaus Campus Ministry Emmaus Campus Ministry is based out of the newly remodeled Ark building – a student community, living-learning center located directly across from the UM campus at 538 University Avenue. Our offices are located in the Ark and seven students live in the house, providing excellent support and friendship to their fellow students. Next door is the Emmaus House at 532 University where three students live and where we hold our Sunday dinners and discussions plus other special events. Both the Ark and Emmaus House are great places to stop by for conversation, studying or just to hang out! Pastoral Care and Peer Listening: We also have trained and compassionate Peer Ministers who are here to listen, support and walk with students through difficult times. We worship on Wednesday evenings at 7 pm at University Congregational Church. Pastor John is at the Ark 9-4 during the week but you can also call, text, or e-mail any time. We invite you to join Emmaus Campus Ministry as you travel along your personal spiritual path at UM. Emmaus House Student Center Hours: Open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon-Fri At the Emmaus House, 532 University. A place to connect, relax, get coffee or food, study, meet friends, and find great books!
