About

United in Love, United to Serve

Story

At United Church in University Place we celebrate and nurture our Church family in a variety of ways. Fellowship Time held after our Sunday Worship service encourages members to meet each other and to greet and welcome visitors to our family. We hold periodic Game Nights, host parties for the Kentucky Derby, the Academy Awards and New Years Eve. Potlucks are an important part of all Churches, and UCUP is no exception; we hold several each year! An annual pumpkin carving party at Halloween provides fun for youth of all ages. During the Advent season we gather to make wreaths, go Christmas caroling, and celebrate with a one-of-kind pinata experience.

Mission

We, the United Church in University Place, declare and celebrate God's love for all the world revealed to us in Jesus Christ and in the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit. We provide a center for worship, fellowship, learning, and service. We support one another and join with people of other faiths to proclaim God's message of love, justice, and mercy as we serve God's creation at home and afar. Acknowledging our spiritual journey is unfinished, we strive to understand God's purpose. Recognizing our faith community is incomplete, we strive for growth and openness.
