UKirk Square One Groups

Being a campus pastor or chaplain is a challenging call. Some say it is nice because your “congregation” changes a lot every year and entirely every 4 or that you have more flexibility in your schedule than a traditional parish-based call. You may or may not be in a location where you have colleagues down the hall. Students are not always knocking on your door. Many people don’t have a clue what campus ministry is. It can be lonely.

This is where Peterson House would like to help. We want to infuse both a little friendship into your life while also being in a place where we can sit with Scripture together. No agenda other than to listen and be open to what the Spirit aims to accomplish in that space. And get this- you don’t have to do anything to prepare for any of the sessions. Just logon. Our vision for all our groups at Peterson House is the spiritual discipline of lingering over Scripture slowly can be a gift to you and your soul.

This fall 2026 Peterson House will facilitate a reflection on 6 texts unique to Luke. Luke first appears in Acts 16 in Troas with Paul on his second missionary journey. We don’t know much about Luke, but he is responsible for 25% of what we have in the New Testament between Luke and Acts. Luke, a physician by trade, is a gatherer of stories. Much of what we read in Luke is included in Mark and Matthew, but splashed within are stories unique to his account alone. We will reflect on 6 of these. We too have stories to share- stories that speak of God’s work in our lives and Christ’s kingdom in our midst. How might reflecting on stories from Luke help us better honor our own? Stories worth sharing.

We would love for you to join us as we reflect on Scripture together. This group will meet 6x this fall with the first session on Wednesday, September 30 from 10:30-11:30 AM EST. John Rogers (Peterson House Director) and Jackie Rodriguez (Campus Pastor at Duke) will be facilitating this group. Click below to sign up or learn more.
