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.
The mission of Lyke House is to form a community of believers that provides spiritual, academic, and faith development for Students and Staff of the Atlanta University Center family and Georgia State University Catholic Community, with a spirit of Christian love, and service in the Catholic tradition of Campus Ministry.
We strive to TRANSFORM STUDENTS COLLEGIANS OF CAMPUS MINISTRY IN TO MISSIONARY DISCIPLES.
