University Bible Fellowship

The University Bible Fellowship (UBF) is a loose network of chapters on college campuses around the world, bound together by specific ideology called "kingdom of priests and holy nation" (KOPAHN). As of 2014, UBF had 323 chapters, with headquarters in Chicago, IL USA. Each chapter has a chapter director, who in recent years is sometimes called "pastor".

Out of 323 chapters, about half (159 to be exact) are nothing more than one family living by themselves near a campus, called a house church in UBF terminology. The other half of the chapters consist of two, three or more families. The largest chapters in the US outside of Chicago are in the Washington D.C. and Los Angeles areas. Day to day management of these satellite chapters is left to the local chapter director normally. The power center chapters, often called HQ or headquarters, generally have a hands-off attitude. Instead of going out to support the satellite chapters, each HQ chapter is seen as sort of a base camp, where members go to be re-charged in their faith. Monetary support is not given to the satellite chapters except in extreme cases. Instead, offering money is sent into the HQ chapters.

UBF is a private community, with students only being allowed inside. Outsiders will typically see a conservative, hyper-evangelical Bible study fellowship with a few strange additions that might be dismissed as being part of Korean culture.
