UCO History
UCO's history is tied up with the history of a move of the Spirit called the "Charismatic Renewal".
We were first called University Christian Outreach in 1979.
Other UCO chapters in North America exist in:
UCO is connected to a sister organization called Saint Paul's Outreach . SPO is a Catholic organization which shares our fundamental mission and purpose of engaging students in radical discipleship. There are SPO chapters in:
- Miami, FL
- St. Paul, MN
- Minneapolis, MN
- Northfield, MN

UCO is now affiliated with a wider grouping of outreaches called Kairos (which puts on our annual regional North American Winter Conference) as well as an international community of Communities called The Sword of the Spirit. There are many developing outreaches across North America, in places such as:
- New Brunswick, NJ
