Pres House is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. and welcomes individuals of every perspective and background.

Our Vision

Pres House is a growing group of people at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus who are building a space to explore what Jesus Christ has to do with life. Our name suggests where we're coming from and where we're going. Founded in the traditions of the Presbyterian Church (USA), we aim to build not simply a "church" but a home – a place that is shaped by the people who dwell here, a space for people to come and explore. There is no single entry way to our home – you can come in through a variety of doors. The atmosphere we hope to create could be characterized in the following ways:

  • We want people to feel "at home" when they enter, no matter who they are or where they are coming from
  • We are in a continual state of remodeling
  • We leave spaces for uncertainty
  • We share a meal together (our weekly worship gathering)
  • Our home has a sturdy foundation
  • We want our "spiritual building" to witness to Jesus Christ

We are still building – come lend a hand.
