Brent House has an active ministry with undergraduates, graduate students, and other University community members, with the house itself being an integral part of that ministry, providing a safe, welcoming, and nourishing place for meetings, prayer and worship, studying, and community. We have a community of seven residents who help to support our programming and hospitality.
We are no longer accepting applications for new residents for the 2024-2025 academic year, please check back next year for upcoming opportunities.

How do residents build community?
- They share a meal with other residents twice a month;
- They actively support the hospitality of Brent House; and
- They participate with other residents in outreach and ministry activities with the graduate student community.
Is it a requirement to be Episcopalian or Christian?
Residents need not be Episcopalian or necessarily Christian, but they do need to be comfortable living in and working with a ministry that is explicitly both.
What does the space look like?
The resident facilities include a spacious single room with ample closet space and a discreet vanity sink within the room. Baths are shared with 1–3 others and guests. All utilities except telephone service are included in the monthly rent. Wireless internet is available throughout the house. Solid-state ceiling fans and cross ventilation in each room ensure comfort in all except the most extreme heat; for a modest monthly utilities charge, residents are allowed to use their own air conditioners. An additional storage area in the attic is designated for each resident’s use and bike storage is allowed in the basement. Kitchen privileges, including cupboard storage and refrigerator space, are extended to residents. In addition to the living room and sunroom, there are lounge areas in the basement and on the fourth floor which provide temporary space for quiet study or relaxation when the main floor of the house is in use for programs. Rents are competitive and comparable to similar facilities in the neighborhood.
