University Presbyterian Church will celebrate it's Jubilee on January 29th, 2009! We are the youngest of the Reformed Presbyterian Churches, General Synod and the last of those congregations planted in the United States of America in 1959. Today we enjoy the company of those congregations that make up the Presbyterian Church in America.

"The church is a company of faithful and holy people, or persons called out of the world to fellowship with Jesus Christ, and united in one congregation to him as members to their head, and one with another, by a holy covenant for mutual fellowship in all such ways of holy worship of God, and of edification of one towards another."

In the seventeenth century, an American Christian compiled these words to strengthen and encourage his congregation in Boston. His first sermon series at this church was entitled "The Covenant of God's Free Grace," which is where this quote comes from. This great quote was found by a former Pastor of this congregation, The Rev. John Jones.

You can read the entire Vision Statement of UPC on our site, but this quote neatly describes who we are, a people undoubtedly touched by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Jesus has gathered us, He has united us to Himself, He has united us to each other, He has brought us into fellowship with God, and He edifies us. What wonderful grace!

As you learn more about UPC through this site, please feel free to contact a member of the pastoral staff to learn more about the grace-centered ministries of UPC.
