University Student Outreach (USO) is a non-denominational organization whose purpose is to reach out the world and show the love of Christ. We believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that He died and rose again, and that He is the only source of Salvation. We believe that salvation is a gift of God, niether started nor sustained by works. We also believe that any person who has personally placed their faith in Christ's death and resurrection is a child of God (John 1:14) and can be certain that they will spend eternity in Heaven. We will be happy to answer any questions about our doctrine that you may have, and you can feel free to call the number listed at any time.

Our vision and purpose is to reach out to the entire world and fulfill the Great Commission (as stated in Matthew 28:19-20) in our lifetime. The only way to achieve this goal is to serve and work with other religious organizations who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that an important part of this process is discipleship, a process wherein a person shares his life with another and both learn from one another about the Lord. We also feel that each person has the opportunity and responsibility to be directly involved in ministry in such a fashion.

University Student Outreach is affiliated with Great Commission Ministries (GCM), an international university ministry organization. Our pastor, Mike Mecke, graduated from Florida Bible college in 1985, receiving a B.A. in Theology and Psychology. He has been in the ministry since 1979 and served as a church elder in Harrison, Arkansas.

USO began as a group of five students who began meeting together for fellowship and discipleship in the fall/winter of 1992 at the University of Arkansas. It became a registered student organization on the UA campus in January of 1993.
