Update on Luther House
Luther House is part of Church of the Cross’ support of campus ministry, providing housing for six post-secondary students. The Luther House Committee supports building community among the students and fostering a relationship with the congregation.
Luther House is open to students regardless of faith tradition, although we seek to build connections with the congregation and Inclusive Christians at UVic.
Some of what the residents commit to:
-Respect and support each other and the common life of the house community.
-Equally care for the common spaces of the house, including cleaning, dishes, garbage, recycling, etc.
-Share a meal together to discuss community, individual life, concerns and reflect and pray together. This includes planning a monthly community meal.
Luther House is currently full with six residents living there. The students lead busy lives working and attending classes. For some residents, this community living experience is the first time for them to live with others in a home community other than with their family.
