Our purpose is to call all people to be fully devoted followers of Jesus who pursue his lifestyle of celebrating God, serving others, and sharing God's love.
We offer active children's, youth and campus ministries, as well as home-based small groups, Sunday and Wednesday Bible classes and engaging worship opportunities. Whether you are already a committed Christian or just beginning to learn about Jesus, you are welcome at any of our activities.
What to expect:
We know it´s not easy visiting a new church for the first time. Sometimes you feel like a nonmember visiting a country club. Do I belong here? Am I really welcome? Will the people be unfriendly, or too friendly? Will I feel out of place? Will it be easy to leave if I don´t enjoy it? Will they ask me for money? Will my kids enjoy it? How should I dress? Am I welcome if I don´t believe?
We want to make your visit an enjoyable experience - easy, stress-free, relaxing, and rewarding. University Church of Christ is designed to be "user-friendly" for people, whatever their background, including those who have never been to church before. In fact, several of our people were not regular church attenders before starting at UCC. So you will not be alone when you visit! When visiting a new church for the first time, we understand that you would like to know what to expect, so here´s a brief overview.
When you arrive: At UCC (on the corner of University Ave. and Jordan Ave.) for either our 9 a.m. acappella worship or our 11:20 a.m. instrumental worship, there are parking spaces for our guests to the west of our Worship Center. Our campus has two buildings. The Activity Center is our newer multi-purpose building that has our offices, classrooms for adults, middle school and high school students, and college students, and our gym, which is where our 11:20 a.m. instrumental worship is held. The Activity Center is located directly on the corner of University and Jordan. The Worship Center is located to the north of the Activity Center and has our nursery and classrooms for children and adults. It also has the auditorium which is where our 9 a.m. acappella worship is held.
At our main doors, there should be some friendly people (we call them "greeters") to say hello, answer any questions you have, and direct you to the auditorium for our first worship or to the Activity Center for our second worship. If you have kids, you will be shown the children’s wing for the nursery and children’s Bible classes. We´ve developed a good security system so you´ll know your kids are safe and well cared for. Because we believe in protecting your children, we ask all of the children’s workers to complete a background check. If your kids are shy, they´re welcome to attend the adult service with you, but most kids really enjoy the kids´ programs for infants through 5th grade, available during both services.
What to wear: You´ll notice that most people are dressed comfortably, in anything from "office casual" to jeans and sneakers. If you arrive early, you´re welcome to look around and pick up a free packet at our information center in the lobby area.
Worship: hen you come in the auditorium or gym, you will find a copy of our "Grace Notes" (bulletin) in the song book racks or on the chairs. This has information about upcoming church/community activities and the plan for the day´s worship. You´ll notice that Grace Notes has a tear-off slip, which is an easy way for us to get better acquainted.
