Looking for Brockport College Students
The Brockport United Methodist Church hosts an Intentional Christian Living Community for up to four college students.  Students pay a below market rent for a bedroom in a single family home.  They establish a covenant with their housemates to encourage prayer, worship, community service, and a Christian lifestyle while attending college in Brockport.  
They receive support from the Brockport United Methodist Church and the appointed clergy. 
 After May 2020, all four bedrooms are available. 
To receive information about enrolling a student in the Covenantal Living House at Brockport United Methodist Church,
