Vision Statement
TRANSFORMING STUDENTS~COLLEGIANS
OF CAMPUS MINISTRY IN TO MISSIONARY DISCIPLES.
There are many ways you can support Lyke House and its mission, all of which help continue the center’s legacy of love and service to the students, faculty, staff and administration of the Atlanta University Center.
Give Financially
The ministry of Lyke House has provided a place where students of the Atlanta University Center can pray, play and study in a relaxed atmosphere since 1991 in the Blue House on 165 James P. Bradley Drive. Our current multi-purpose facility on 809 Beckwith Street was dedicated October 20, 1999 and blessed by Most Reverend James P. Lyke, Archbishop of Atlanta.
This is accomplished in part with the financial help and support of sponsors, benefactors, and donors like you! You can make your tax deductible donation to Lyke House in the following ways:
