LIUCM was established In 1972 in a covenant made by five denominations committed to providing a ministry in higher education on Long Island, and committed to doing so together.
From its beginning, LIUCM has worked at the creative interaction of Church, University, and Community in responding to the needs and opportunities in each. It is the only bi-county agency committed to joining Church, University, and Community together In addressing common mission concerns.

In the Church:
Assisting congregations and church agencies in using the resources of university and community in their own program development.
In the University:
Developing ministries on individual campuses which include: worship, study, fellowship, pastoral care, community service, social education and action, and leadership development. These ministries draw upon local congregational involvement.
In the Community:
We organize or assist specific action projects in which congregation and campus can join to meet needs and address problems: LIUCM has been an active participant in coalitions on housing, hunger, family planning, crisis intervention, domestic violence, and world peace.
