We strive to create a sense of home in our community by offering extravagant welcome to any and every human being (all ages, races, ethnicities, physical and mental abilities, sexual orientations, genders, economic means) – including doubters and believers from many faith backgrounds. We feel called by God to be a shelter in the storm, embracing together the joys and burdens of the world.
One way we get to know each other better is through our fellowship events. From picnics in our Memorial Park to potluck lunches, from family movie and game nights to quiet country retreats, and from the Sunday morning coffee hour to evenings of storytelling, there are so many ways to meet and connect with others. Please join us – we want to get to know you!
“Serving on the Gathering team has been one of my most rewarding and connecting experiences at UP. To make space for people to connect, build friendships and find support in our community is a true blessing. The work is meaningful and important and the impact can be counted in hugs and smiles. Please consider joining the Gathering Team and continuing to draw the Spirit into our midst… ‘For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.'” – Stefan R., church member
