UCAM Roll Call 2022

UCAM WE CAN

Tertiary education in Jamaica is much more than just academic pursuits. Maintaining or advancing one's spirituality is equally or more important for many. More specifically, cultivating a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, despite being unpopular, is a key feature of the campus lifestyle for some students and has been for many years.

In the 1970s, nursing students from the University Hospital of The West Indies (UHWI) approached the 'House Mother,' the administrative representative who looked after the welfare of students at the time, for permission to start their ministry, which they named Pentecostal Students' Fellowship. Today's campus life is filled with various activities, and many students who identify as Apostolic recognize the importance of remaining spiritually focused. The number of Oneness Apostolic groups grew, and this resulted in the formation of a tri-campus ministry comprised of nurses, UWI students, and SACA. Since then, the ministry has expanded throughout Jamaica, establishing itself on campuses in rural areas. The ministry's hierarchy comprises the national council, advisors, and UCAM members. Every member, regardless of rank, is referred to affectionately and passionately as a "UCAMmer."
