University Christian Church affiliates with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

• The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a Protestant denomination of approximately 800,000 members in the United States and Canada. We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world. As part of the one body of Christ we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.
• We practice unity and inclusion at the Lord’s Table for the sake of mission and for the sake of the world as the one family of God. We at UCC, do this by celebrating communion every Sunday, using the chalice as our logo.
• We practice believer baptism – that a person makes the choice to follow God’s call rather than the choice being made for them.  Baptism is the basis of membership in the Church and a mark that every person is called to serve God.
• We are called to study and read scripture for ourselves.  Taking into account the context in which it was written.
• We also honor the heritage of Christian unity by staying together in covenant as a witness to the world that even when we disagree, we can still make room, welcoming all to the table as Christ has welcomed us.
• We move to answer God’s call for justice particularly in the areas of care for the earth, the challenges for women and children, poverty and hunger and immigration. 
• We are an ecumenical community that cooperates and partners with other faith communities to work for bringing about wholeness – healing and justice – in the world.
