On Sunday morning all the street parking is free and available to use. The closest parking garage is the McAllister Parking Deck.

Our worship service begins at 10:45 am and people will start to arrive at the sanctuary a little before then. Our service blends traditional elements with relevant ideas. Church includes elements such as hymns of music, Scripture, sermon, and prayer. We are a warm congregation that likes to be together and likes to meet new people. Coffee and snacks are provided after the service during fellowship hour. There are also often opportunities to help with church ministries after service, such as packing bags of food for our food assistance ministry.

Yes! We believe the Communion table is the table of Christ. Everyone is welcome at Christ’s table. A couple of other notes: 1) Gluten free wafers are available. 2) The cup is always grape juice. We most often have communion on the first Sunday of the month. You do not need to be a member, and you do not need to be baptized to partake in communion. Children are also welcome.

You will see some people dressed in a suit and tie, some people in jeans and shirts, and many of us in casual clothes. We reflect the nature of being in a college town pretty well. We love college students and know sometimes you quickly put on whatever is right next to your bed. Sometimes dressing up also feels good. Just show up as you are and open your heart to God and we’ll welcome you just as you are.

Arriving 10 – 15 minutes prior to the start of the service will give you an opportunity to park, find your seat in the Sanctuary, and settle in. People like to say “hello” to their friends before the service begins, too.

We love kids at Faith UCC.  Children are always welcome in the Sanctuary with their adult(s).  We also offer an exciting, intergenerational Sunday School Program for children age 4 years through 8th grade. Children begin the worship service with their adult(s) and are invited to Church School following the Children’s Message.

During the Summer, children remain in worship. 

If your child wants to stay through the duration of the service, they are absolutely welcome. We have coloring pages and crayons available for your children. There is a nursery available for parents or children to play in as well.

There is accessible parking along Locust Lane, near the Office door. There is also a ramp to the main entrance on College Ave. There are several accessible seating spaces in the sanctuary, an accessible bathroom near the sanctuary, and an elevator.

There are gender-inclusive bathrooms on each floor of the church. All bathrooms are stocked with free personal hygiene and menstrual products.

There is a changing table and private nursing area in the Children’s Room.

Of course! We offer a membership class 1-2 times ayear. These classes are short (about 1-2 hours), provide information about the United Church of Christ and Faith Church in particular, and are intended to help folks figure out if membership at Faith is the right step for them. Following the class, anyone who wants to formally become a member of Faith is invited to join a ceremony at Sunday service to take an oath of membership and receive prayer from the congregation.

Regardless of your church membership status, you are welcome to worship with us at Faith Church. You may also transfer your membership from another UCC church to Faith, or become a new member of our church.
