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 in-person worship service starts at 10 am and includes hymns, prayers, scripture reading and a sermon. It usually lasts about an hour. During the 10 am service we also offer live-streaming to a nearby room that offers those with compromised immune systems to be more isolated. We also offer a separate space for children, with supervised play and crafts during the 10 am service. Sections of the 10 am service are programed into the 5 pm digital service, which is offered as a "vespers."
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 10 am 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.
Greetings! Our annual pledge campaign is in full swing this month.
“I am, because we are,” the African idea of Ubuntu, is central to our idea of our church community and how we are asked to work together to risk something big for the sake of something good. Pledges are a big part of how we as a community support each other and the work of our church. Our pledge campaign celebrates the good work that our pledges make possible, and the many ways that our church community has been and continues to be brave.
You should be receiving your 2023 pledge campaign packet in the mail this week. Please look over the materials and at our new Red Wall display to see the good we are doing in the world for our staff, community, and congregation as we celebrate the 70th year in our current building!
