No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here at University Congregational United Church of Christ. Young, old, sure of your path, or still searching --- we invite you to join us in imagining love and justice - as Jesus did - in acting to change the world.
Our worship service starts at 10 am and includes hymns, prayers, scripture reading and a sermon. It usually lasts about an hour. Right now we are worshiping online and will adjust this message once we are able to meet together in our sanctuary once again. 
We are an inter-generational church and strive to be family-friendly, with an active ministry for children and youth. All ages are welcome in worship. We also offer nursery and child-care, Younger children begin the service with us and usually leave after about 15 minutes. Older children have the option of leaving for a special sermon time. Junior high and high school youth meet at 9 am and then often sit together in worship. Give us a call at 206-524-2322 for more specifics.
Wheelchair Access: The front entry is wheelchair accessible as are the rest rooms. Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance.
The healing work regarding race is long overdue. Everyone can make a difference in fulfilling our church’s commitment to be a Racial Justice Church. We at UCUCC have a way to go and it requires learning. Some of that learning will happen in reading and conversation beginning this month.
So You Want to Talk About Race? by Seattle area author Ijeoma Oluo is an accessible “on-ramp” book for our needed learning. If the conversation on race is daunting for you or you don’t know where to start, this is your opportunity to step in and begin. If you have begun or are far along the path, this is your chance to engage with your fellow church folk. This fall we are inviting the whole church to read, reflect, and discuss Oluo’s book in six weekly online Zoom sessions of 90 minutes.
You can choose from three discussion groups:
- Tuesdays at 8:00 pm with Pastor Amy (starts Oct. 13)
- Wednesdays at 10:00 am with Pastor Todd (starts Oct. 14)
- Sundays at 1:00 pm with Pastor Catherine (starts Oct. 18)
Each session will have a short opening time then breakouts into small group discussions. Questions for the week will be sent out prior to each session for reflection.
How do you get involved?
