Academy 4
Academy 4 takes place one Friday afternoon a month during the school year. All fourth-grade students, mentors, and volunteers gather on the school campus during, on the same afternoon, for a fun-filled time of leadership training and relationship building. We need 132 mentors and substitutes to make this 9-month commitment for the 2022-2023 school year. All it takes is 90 minutes, once a month. Mentors will be provided the day of, onsite training, easy to follow curriculum and fun activities to do with your 4th grader.

Children's Closet
The Children’s Closet came together in response to specific requests by Fort Worth ISD counselors, who identified children in need of school uniforms at the beginning and throughout the school year. The Children’s Closet, a ministry of UCC, has answered this call by committing to provide part of the uniforms to every student for each of the elementary schools in FWISD including the four elementary leadership academies.

Room in the Inn
For 10 years, University Christian Church has responded to the very real need of homeless persons for inclusion and affirmation. Twenty-two nights a year, ten different guests spend the night and enjoy dinner and breakfast. UCC volunteers not only give but also receive inspiration, compassion, and fellowship. Room in the Inn is about ordinary people loving their neighbors in extraordinary ways—welcoming and accepting people exactly as they are is the greatest gift any of us can give. To sign up to serve, contact Carol Stewart.

Mission Pilgrimage
Are you interesting in planning and/or participating in UCC’s next Mission Pilgrimage?
Stay tuned for more info-meetings to discuss potential upcoming service opportunities.
Their language is intentional—a mission pilgrimage rather than a mission trip. It’s not about us and what they’re doing, but about what God is going to do through them and those they meet. They hope to stretch out their hands in a ministry of presence and walk the risky path of pilgrimage to holy ground.

Caring For God's Creation
The Caring for God’s Creation Ministry (CFGC) has been prayerfully leading University Christian Church in its stewardship of God’s good earth for over 15 years. Replacing the Styrofoam cups used in the church building was one of Caring for God’s Creation’s early projects.

Page Scholarship
Thanks to the generosity of Mary Louise Page and several of our current members, Gerry & Don Houk and Virginia and Alex Cothran, University Christian Church is able to offer the possibility of a partial scholarship. This scholarship helps young adults defray some of the cost of a college education that they may not have been able to afford.
