University Presbyterian Church

To Share Hope in Jesus Christ

Church description

University Presbyterian Church is a multi-generational congregation with a singular focus on Jesus Christ. Everything we do—every worship service, every ministry, every small group—is about Jesus Christ.

Our Vision: Every member a minister

Our Mission: To SHARE HOPE in Jesus Christ

Core Experience: Alive in Christ, alive together, living for the world

Ministries: To accomplish our mission, UPC's ministries emphasize spiritual formation, life-changing community, and lay leadership. Here's a rundown on a few ministries:

Small Groups
For decades, small groups have been a vital part of forming communities within our larger church community. We now have more than 300 small groups throughout Western Washington, all sustained by leaders who give of their time and their energy to form these vital communities within the larger community.

Side-by-Side
When families relocate to Seattle to receive medical treatment for a seriously ill child, they often leave behind their friends, neighbors, and support networks. Throughout the year, Side-by-Side volunteers offer practical and relational support, sharing moments of laughter, rest, and togetherness with these families. At our annual week-long summer camp, over 200 volunteers help create a week of revelry and hilarity to enjoy with 20 families who have a child with cancer.

University Ministries
We're just two blocks from UW—and we're right on the path between Greek Row and Starbucks—which puts us in a unique place to minister to college students. Every Tuesday we have The Inn, a large worship service where college students can grow in their faith and bring their friends. One of the coolest things about University Ministries is the way they take college students beyond the Inn, giving them a vision for a lifelong walk with Christ. University interns and students have gone on to found and lead ministries across the country, and UMin continues to support them through the Ascent network.

Children & Youth
UPC is a place where children and youth are actively encouraged to share hope in Jesus Christ. Our children recently supported and raised money to build a school in Haiti. Our middle and high-schoolers regularly serve right here in Seattle and make annual trips to serve in Tijuana, Los Angeles, Wapato, and Scotland, to name a few.

Outreach
UPC supports over 30 missionaries and ministry partners in the USA and abroad, and each year we send hundreds of people on short-term international missions. Right here in Seattle, we partner with Urban Impact, the University Food Bank, Renton Area Youth and Family Services, and Street Youth Ministries, among many others.
