Here at University Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, we proclaim a gospel that is progressive, inclusive and inspired by the never-ending love of God. We are an Open and Affirming congregation which means we embrace and affirm the ministry of everyone no matter their race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability/ability, age, or any other factor. We welcomed Pastor John Lund as our new Senior Pastor in May 2023.

Land Acknowledgement

In the interest of truth and healing, we acknowledge that the Séliš and Q’lispé people have lived on and cared for this land for thousands of years.  As part of Western Expansion settlers claimed this valley, including the land upon which this church is built.  As witnesses to the historical and ongoing harm done by colonization to Indigenous peoples, lifeways, and the land, we commit to learning from the original peoples of this place, to building friendships, and to taking action to work toward a more just and equitable future.
