A home for every student, wherever you are on campus.
At UC San Diego, Watch Altars ministers to students where life actually happens, in the residential colleges you call home as an undergraduate, and in the unique season of graduate and professional life. Find your people, grow in faith, and be known.
Undergraduate Ministry
Eight residence based college fellowships, one for every UC San Diego college. Weekly community, Bible study and friendship right where you live.
Graduate & Professional Ministry
A weekly Bible study & prayer gathering, a welcome dinner for new grad students, and a year long series on the questions that shape this season, faith, relationships, calling and more.
Ministry that meets you in your season
Rooted where you live
Undergraduate fellowships are organized around the residential colleges, so community is never far from your door.
Grown for your stage of life
Graduate and professional students gather around the real questions of research, work, marriage, family and calling.
Known and cared for
Small enough to be known by name, connected to the wider Watch Altars family across the campus.
