KU ministry finds a home of its own
KU's Lutheran Campus Ministry moves into its first permanent home at 142 W 19th St after renovations started in August. The former dreary ranch was a 50 year home for campus groups and the ministry’s 90 year existence includes multiple spaces. The Westwood House, named for the donor, was funded by a $400000 gift from a closed Westwood church plus about $300000 raised locally. The site sits across from Oliver Hall near the Islamic Center of Lawrence.
