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.

The first waging peace cohort is here. Every Monday for 4 weeks starting Jan 16th, through February 6, Rev/awo lenny duncan in a conversation curated by Rev. Elle Dowd will discuss their forthcoming volume Dear Revolutionaries: A Field Guide for the World Beyond the Church.
Every week Rev. Dowd will ask questions focused on each chapter with probing and clarifying questions on each waging peace exercises at the end of each chapter.
This should give the everyday revolutionary all they need to lead not a book study, but to build a cohort of those ready to walk alongside those already resisting Christo-fascism, create counter systems to serve the increasing needs of community with less means, and a relationship first model of encounter, gathering, and organizing that is sustainable for the already weary.
All participants will receive a signed copy of the book on the release date as well as a pdf of the Advance Reader Copy one week before the class.
Rev. Dowd will lead the conversation for 45 minutes followed by a 15 minute break. The second half will consist of a 45 minute Q and A for participants to follow, with a 5-10 minute closing “Sacred Encounter.”
