Outreach

"As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world."

John 17:18

At UPPC, we envision a renewed and flourishing community at home and abroad where the love of Jesus is known, experienced and spread to others intentionally, spontaneously and tangibly.  We live out this vision
by engaging holistically to address the broken relationships, injustices, and hinderances
that prevent all from fully experiencing God's shalom.

Ongoing Service Opportunities

Safe Haven Refugee Ministry

Since 2015 UPPC has worked to support refugees in our area. Growing from housing assistance and teams to help a family learn how to live in a new country, our ministry continues to expand.

See how you can help at uppc.org/safehaven.

My story serving at UPPC

Dan Small, Families Unlimited Foodbank volunteer

For 6 years, I have volunteered at the Families Unlimited Foodbank. Giving my time to help others is very important to me. I pick up food from local grocery stores and food warehouses that helps feed nearly 2,000 people each month. The hours I give each week helping others is rewarding and helps strengthen my faith in Jesus with every box of food I unload.
