Build Beloved Community

At UEC we share stories and meals together. By gathering, we create more joy and heal more brokenness—in our own lives and in our neighborhoods.

Your Community Matters

“What am I even supposed to be doing in life? I have no clue … and I feel so far behind in a world that’s falling apart.” Ever felt this way? Most people have. You’re not alone.

UEC is a campus ministry that cares about replacing loneliness with community. We are a place where busy lives can slow down. We unplug from the endless scrolling of modern technology and return to timeless ways of gathering: sharing stories, eating meals, praying prayers. As we gather together we hope to grow closer to ourselves, to each other, and to God.
