ULife Consulting — Organization Profile
ULife Consulting, Inc. (often referred to as ULife) is a nonprofit organization that serves campus, college, and young adult ministries by providing consulting, coaching, and job-search support. Based in Bono, Arkansas, ULife’s stated purpose is to help ministries to college students and young adults thrive through practical assessment, training, and ongoing leadership development.
A central part of ULife’s work is on-site consultation for campus and college ministries. ULife describes these consultations as a way to help a ministry move toward healthier structure and greater fruitfulness by evaluating ministry realities and then offering recommendations for improvement. For ministries that are in a season of change, ULife also offers on-site or distance consultation for rebranding or relaunching, helping leaders clarify direction and rebuild with intentionality.
ULife also supports churches that want to start or strengthen college ministry efforts. The organization includes services such as guiding churches through a new launch or a reboot of their college ministry, with the aim of helping congregations develop sustainable outreach and discipleship among students and young adults. In addition, ULife provides one-on-one coaching and staff coaching, including monthly Zoom cohorts, so leaders can receive encouragement and accountability beyond a single consultation.
Another distinctive offering is ULife’s role in staffing transitions. ULife notes that it can lead job searches for campus, college, and young adult ministers, assisting churches and ministries as they evaluate candidates and move toward a strong fit for their setting. This reflects ULife’s focus on supporting both organizational health and the people who lead ministry day to day.
ULife is also involved in campus ministry expansion. The organization describes itself as the campus ministry planting wing for Campus for Christ, and it states that it often partners with Kairos Church Planting. Through these connections and its own services, ULife works to strengthen campus ministry efforts in multiple locations, not only in its home region.
ULife’s leadership includes an executive director and a board of directors drawn from ministry and professional backgrounds. Individuals and churches can engage with ULife by requesting a consultation or coaching relationship, seeking help with a campus-ministry job search, and supporting ULife’s work so it can continue serving ministries that need assistance regardless of ability to pay.
