on life's journey,
you are welcome here.
We resumed in-person worship indoors on August 15.
Your safety is our main priority. We require masking for all while inside our buildings and outside in large groups. Read more about what to expect. We can’t wait to see many of you soon. Thanks be to God!
Watch previously recorded services and more on our YouTube channel.
Worship is the heart of how we connect with our faith community and is our common time together as the people of God. At our services, you’ll see a range of ages from babies bouncing in parents’ laps to smiling grandparents, and a range of attire from jeans to suits and ties, and even the occasional Easter bonnet.
We welcome people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, and abilities to join in worship with our open, caring congregation. We are an Open and Affirming congregation.
Worship Services – 9:45am Festival Worship, 9:30am La Mesa (Bilingual, English & Spanish) Worship Service
Our 9:45am Festival Worship (in the Sanctuary) starts bright & early to help you get a jump on the day. Or worship with us at 9:30am at the bilingual La Mesa y Café service (in the Fellowship Hall).
No matter which time works for you, our morning services are uplifting experiences with encouraging and inspiring sermons and a rich diversity of joyous sounds from our many music groups, from Gospel music to the rich, traditional sounds of our organ.
Communion is offered weekly at the Festival Worship and La Mesa services.
United Church is an accessible building. We offers wireless hearing assists and ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation is provided at the 9:45am worship service.
Enjoy time for fellowship following both services.
Catch up with old friends and meet new ones!
Faith Formation (Sunday School) for all ages at 11 & 11:15am (January- June).
Childcare is provided throughout the morning.
Childcare
We are happy to provide care for babies, toddlers, and early elementary-age children throughout our Sunday morning worship services and Faith Formation programs. Our nursery is staffed by long-time Director Alison Robertson and a team of capable attendants. Alison is a professionally trained and accredited child care provider.
Parents of newborns are welcome to sit in the rocking chairs in our sanctuary or to comfort their children during services in our Family Parlor.
Sunday School (September-May)
We offer separate classes for children ages three through third grade and a combined fourth/fifth grade class. Classes are led by teacher teams of at least three volunteers. Our sessions center on significant stories from the Old and New Testaments. Parents can stay engaged in and informed about their child’s Faith Formation experience through weekly Children’s Ministry emails from Anitra Grove, Director for Children’s Ministry.
Vacation Bible School (Summer)
Each summer, the Board of Children’s Ministries organizes a VBS experience for UCCH children and friends. We learn Bible stories, participate in educational crafts and discussions, and sing songs related to the theme of the year.
Adult Education at United Church
We believe that Faith Formation is a lifelong venture that includes struggling with scripture and the stories of our faith that challenge us to be in right relationship with God and our community. We seek to offer meaningful Faith Formation programs for every stage of life. During the church year (September-May) we offer many adult education opportunities.
Ongoing classes for adults at United Church include:
Wednesday Evening Programs
Nurturing both faith and fellowship, United Church has three Wednesday evening series during the program year. The first in September, Wednesdays Together, welcomes everyone back from their summer break and newcomers to our community. In January, we interrupt January’s darkness with Light Up Your Winter. As a preparation for Easter’s joy we engage our hearts and minds in a Lenten Series. We generally begin each evening with a simple supper provided by the Fellowship Board at 5:45pm, followed several program options at 6:30pm
Other weekday Offerings
