What is the Edge House?

The easy answer is, we are the Lutheran Campus Ministry house on the edge of campus. The more complicated answer involves Episcopalians, a chainsaw, and 50 pounds of coffee.

The current Fearless Leader is Alice Connor, an Episcopal priest. The interdenominational spirit continues with housemates Chris Bean (wielder of the chainsaw) and Jamie Noyd, Nazarene and Missouri Synod Lutheran respectively. Students, faculty, and staff of UC from all denominations, faiths, and lack-of-faiths are welcome at The Edge. Our mission is to provide a safe, hospitable place for faith-wrestling, doubt, conversation, and napping.

The house itself has many spaces to relax, study, play, and converse. We have WiFi, delicious and fairly-traded free coffee, an extensive religious library, and the Listening Bench on the MLK side of the house. Come down to the edge of campus and check us out.

Where We Are

You ever notice no one gives directions anymore? Used to, you would get something like, “Drive down Clifton ‘bout a mile or so, pass that old building where that coffee shop where Jim worked used to be, take a left at Old Man’s Tree, and you can’t miss it. If you hit Graeter’s, you’ve gone too far.” Now we just Google it.

The Edge House is at 3007 Clifton Avenue. If you don’t want to Google it, try this: we’re at the corner of Martin Luther King and Clifton Ave which is cattycorner from the DAAP Works, across the road from Burnet Woods Park (the grassy lawn bit, not the trees), and right next to a urologist. Also, the map photo above is the city’s description of our property lines—that help?
