We’re University Christian Church.
A community seeking to discover the renewing ways of Jesus.
A community of hospitality.
We desire to be a people who make room for everyone to encounter Christ and experience His welcome. Whether you’re new to church, have been part of faith communities your whole life, or are just dipping your toes back in after some time away, we invite you to join us on the adventure of exploring who God is and what it means to follow Jesus all our days.
Come, be part of what God is up to in our midst!
We worship together Sunday mornings: 9.45–11.00am
For Holy Week, we’ll be gathering in some special ways:
Holy Monday: March 30, 2026 | Taize Song Service, 7.30–8.45pm
Gather for a night of meditative singing at UCC—in a dim room lit with candles—with space for quiet contemplation as well. All are welcome.Spy Wednesday: April 1, 2026 | Tenebrae, 7.30pm
Tenebrae, Latin for “darkness,” is a special Holy Week liturgy featuring passiontide music spanning medieval through 20th century chant. This holy office—led by the Cathedral Basilica’s choir—is an experience like no other. Gather with us, with others across denominations in Cincinnati, at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains. If you plan to attend, and would like to sit together with others from UCC, please text Meg so we can do our best to hold seats. Pro tip: arrive early; the room will fill up!Good Friday: April 3, 2026 | Stations of Blessing, 7.30–9.30am; 7.30–9.30pm
Join us as we remember Jesus’ steps the night he was taken to be crucified: Jesus washes his disciple’s feet, shares a very significant meal, and goes off to pray. On Good Friday, make your way around three stations of blessing at UCC between the hours of 7.30–9.30am and/or 7.30–9.30pm. Come as you are…and step into this encounter.Resurrection Sunday: April 5, 2026 | Celebrate!, 9.45am
Come, let’s celebrate the Risen Christ! We’d love to have sweet/savory treats together after worship. Sign-up here and let others know what you’ll bring!
A community oriented to love.
Sharing God’s love is a core part of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. We believe that Jesus wants to share His love in many ways, through all kinds of people, in many different places. The more we, as followers, are experiencing that love ourselves—by deepening our relationship with God through prayer, worship, service, and life together in community—the more His love will flow from us and into the lives of others.
A community for university.
Every person needs places and spaces where they can belong—people they can feel welcomed, known, and at home with. This need for belonging is all the more pressing in younger generations, where experiences of loneliness and isolation are on the rise. Being a home for students studying at the nearby University of Cincinnati is the reason our fellowship began. We believe college students need the church, and the church needs college students. God has charged us with this costly, yet joy-filled, work to prayerfully and proactively share the Gospel with our student neighbors—doing all we can to nurture, develop, and support them in their walks with Christ.
