Who we are
PRISM is a diverse crowd of open and affirming CU students seeking a progressive path of faith.
Our most valued beliefs are our common beliefs in the value of our differences, the importance of harmony, the power of love, and the need for spirituality in our lives.
Our way of Spirit encourages questions about life and faith, knowing that questions are essential to human discovery and personal growth.
Our programs like Coming Out Faithful, Progressive Bible Study, Fall and Spring retreats and our inclusive worship community feed the soul and foster growth of understanding and heart.
Our understandings of Spirit emphasize that giving and serving are a key to spiritual growth and social justice. Our relationship to others is the best measure of our true spiritual life and maturity.
We have students who identify as Christian, Unitarian Universalist (interfaith), and some who are just searching and glad to be in community. We are gay and straight, undergrads and graduate students, grew up in the church and not, from Colorado and not.
But we are all seeking the progressive, inclusive way of Spirit.

You can come and study, snack, nap, hang out on the porch, watch a movie, work in our computer room, and even wash your laundry if you need.
PRISM House is located at the NW corner of 11th and Grandview, just 1 block west of Broadway and 1 block north of University Ave. Look for the peace pole and the white picket fence.

Programs
Wednesday Night Gathering
This is a very informal gathering that starts at around 6:00pm with a free home cocked dinner and a program follows. The program takes a range of forms, from topical discussion or activism projects to UU and Christian worship. Most of our worship is in a contemplative style and we close at 8:00pm with a closing circle. Those who have time to stay and socialize are welcome to visit after closing.

Fall and Spring Retreats
Each semester we get away to the mountains to get to know each other, have fun, and learn a little more about Spirit, self, neighbor and world.
Annual Worktrip
Every spring semester, we serve others and learn together about faith, compassion in action, and social justice issues around those in need.
