About the Church

At University Christian Church, we believe that God is calling us to be:

  • Christ-centered and Spirit-led
  • Multi-racial and ecumenical
  • Prayerful and compassionate

Our congregation is made up of young and old, liberal and conservative, and a rich mixture of colors and cultures. We prize our inclusiveness and diversity as a reflection of God's will for the church and the world. We have not all "arrived" in our faith, so we actively welcome other "seekers" who are trying to find a more intimate relationship with God and a clearer sense of God's will.

Our church building is located at the corner of Adelphi and Belcrest Roads in Hyattsville, Maryland, not far from Northwestern High School. Our members live in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and northern Virginia.

University Christian Church (cUc) is a member congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). As a legacy of our beginning 150 years ago, we do not require belief in any creed, but seek to unite all who believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Mission Statement

At University Christian Church, we believe that we are called by God to reflect and celebrate the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, and to invite our neighbors to share with us the joys and challenges of Christian discipleship. Treasuring our diversity and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are willing to change, grow, and learn, listening carefully for what God is calling us to do and be. We especially hear God’s call to be a church that reaches out in love and service to others, promoting justice and compassion for all God’s children and all God’s creation.
