Our Services

Sunday
10:00am
Worship is not a production or a performance. Worship is an a time set aside for an encounter with God, and is aided by words, sights, sounds, and silence that foster that encounter. At UniChu, you'll find worship that is best described as 'organic' - that is, it grows out of the context and lives of the gathered community. We worship from 10:00 to 11:15 every Sunday morning. Join us!

What is the community like?
University Church is a progressive, ecumenical, congregation across Stanford Ave. from Stanford University in the College Terrace neighborhood of Palo Alto. We are the church-home for Episcopal Lutheran Campus Ministry, so there are many students, faculty, staff, alumni, neighbors, and friends that make up this community. Our theology is progressive, our worship is organic, our welcome is radical, and Christ's table is open to all. If you are in search of a congregational community, join us for worship, fellowship, study, reflection on God's call, and engagement with the world.

What if I'm not a Christian?
This church-home is made up of people from many (or no) denominations. We use scripture, tradition, reason, and experience to inspire a living faith. We are barrier-free, welcoming all people from the community - faculty, staff, students, family, friends, neighbors, and alumni. If you want to be here, God welcomes you.
