University City is a suburb of the City of San Diego, centrally located and geographically close to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). The church was founded in 1964. Its first buildings were erected in 1968, and the UCUC Preschool started in 1970. Theologically, the church is moderate to liberal. Click here for a map and directions.

An Extended Family
Our Church is like an extended family of individuals who are seeking a place and a way to make their lives grow, people who are trying to make a difference as God becomes more alive in their lives.

Goals that have been a foundation of our church life are faith, freedom, fellowship, service, and personal growth. We believe in nurturing a faith which is ever growing, open to the discovery of new truths, and yet drawing upon the deeper meanings of the tradition we have inherited.

Freedom is an important dimension of our life both corporately and individually. We are an autonomous congregation free to govern ourselves discretely, led by the dictates of the conscience and faith of our members.

Open and Affirming Statement
Inspired by the example set by Jesus Christ, we, the University City United Church, United Church of Christ, declare ourselves Open and Affirming. As an Open and Affirming congregation, University City United Church welcomes people of every faith background, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, nationality, military status, family structure, marital status, age, economic circumstance, and physical or mental ability. Our communion table is open to all. We offer a safe and spiritual home where relationships based on love and respect may flourish. We invite everyone to participate fully in the life of our church which includes not only worship but also membership, leadership and employment. In making these affirmations, we celebrate the richness of diversity, together seeking to live as a family of God.
