We are a community of people living in and around the University of Washington working together to figure out how to live in better relationship with God, one another and creation. We're just trying to figure out how to navigate life with love and integrity and to keep our hope for the future intact. Together, we worship, play, pray, dance, do yoga, hike, eat, meditate, make art, conversate and much more. We are a Q Center Safe Zone and a Reconciling In Christ ministry (a designation given to ELCA ministries who are supportive of the LGBTQ+ community). We engage in interfaith conversation and relationship. We do our best to live out the radical, gracious love of God in Jesus Christ.
Our Mission:
Love all. Seek Justice. Practice Faith.

Our denominations: The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and The Episcopal Church (TEC)
Our ministry is the partnership, or two campus ministries, sponsored by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and The Episcopal Church. The way we live our lives together reflects the beauty and challenges of each denomination (as well as the challenges of partnering two denominations that have different ways of expressing the Christian faith). For the most part, our similarities are greater than our differences, and our community embodies the best of each.

Covenant House -- Open Space for All
Our building is called Covenant House. A covenant is a promise -- and our promise to the community is to be an open, welcoming space that is free of judgement and full of love. Bring your joys, your problems, your questions and your homework.
Covenant House is open to the UW Campus Community weekdays for relaxation, studying and hanging out.
Come and hang out with us -- we have coffee and snacks, room for quiet study, and a room for games and watching tv.
4525 19th Ave NE
Nestled between the Lambda Chi's and the blue house.
