What We Believe:
At our core, United Presbyterian is a community of people called by God, who belong to one another, and whose lives are being transformed by God’s love. This means that the regular, weekly rhythm of worship forms the heart of our faith community.
Each time we gather to worship God, in-person and online, we invite God’s Spirit to help us make a joyful noise to the Lord. Through story, song, prayer, scripture, poetry, art, movement, discussions, sacrament, and ritual action, we celebrate God’s love made known in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. We also ask God to forgive us once again, to teach us more and more, and to send us back out to continue enacting God’s way of Shalom on earth as it is in heaven.
All throughout the week we aim to follow the movement of God’s Spirit by caring for one another, serving together, working for God’s peace and justice, and growing in our faith alongside others. We do all of this because we know that the Church is not a building or an institution but Christ’s hands and feet in the world today.

An Intergenerational Church:
At United, being an intergenerational church is less about what is done and more about how a church behaves. Being an intergenerational church is a spiritual discipline—as it requires a person to look beyond their own needs and towards another person’s needs. Being an intergenerational church nurtures the ability to provide hospitality to others.
So when we worship together intergenerationally, it involves the heart as well as the head and broadens acceptance of those who are different from ourselves. All that is required in an intergenerational church is for people to come as they are because it mirrors the complex, diverse, and beautiful image of God and God’s creation.

What To Expect:
Sunday worship is for everyone! The most exciting thing happens when we gather young and old, gay and straight, all genders, long time members, visitors and regular attenders, and of various skin tones, backgrounds, incomes levels, and experiences. Our goal is to offer all a place to belong and to be known. Therefore, we try our best to make sure there is something for everyone in our worship, but this is a work in progress!
We have space for wheelchairs in the front of the sanctuary and a “Prayground” for children of all ages in the back. There is no dress code. Some like to wear their Sunday best while others keep it casual. We make use of screens in worship, but we also still provide a printed bulletin with the liturgy and announcements.
We like to mix things up from week to week so you may find that one week we show a video. Another week we might use poetry and art. Still another may have some kind of ritual action or discussion time. Sometimes we do all of this in one service! We sing some contemporary songs but mainly use our newest Presbyterian hymnal, which offers an ecumenical and diverse offering of church music from around the world and across the ages.
Families are most welcome in worship every Sunday. We expect (and enjoy!) the sounds of little ones. Each week during the service, we have what we call either a “time for children” or a “story for all ages.” Sometimes we have children or youth help to lead parts of the service. The Prayground is another way we make space for our youngest worshippers to move, play, do crafts, and read books. This is a wonderful and valid way for them to worship and learn about God. Some might spend the whole service back there, while others enjoy going there for a portion of the service.
