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.
Every day we read and hear of death and destruction in Ukraine as Russian military forces bomb even hospitals, schools and civilians on city streets. ICRC has been there from the beginning with its trained resident teams greatly augmented in March and in refugee receiving countries such as Poland, Hungary and Moldova. We will ask that our giving be used to support refugees as they search for a home until they can really go home again.
We chose ICRC rather than other wonderful agencies serving there because it is also
present in many countries where natural and political disasters have placed people in jeopardy. ICRC is in Yemen where, on top of the ravages of seven years of infighting, there is widespread hunger. This year will turn hunger into famine if the current climate does not change for normal crop production. In Afghanistan, in spite of the political situation, ICRC is working with the Ministries of Public Health and Higher Education to support thirty-three hospitals and teaching hospitals across the country. ICRC is able to use 93.5 % of its contributions, an unusually high amount, to fund its work around the world.
Whether in Ukraine or in countries where human need is desperate because of unpredictable disasters, our contributions will join with others to bring relief. For your giving, for the people who will receive your help… thank you!

Or, send a check to UCUCC, noting on the memo line “April Special Offering.”
