University Place Presbyterian Church — Attraction in University Place

I had hoped to find a supportive and faith-centered community at UPPC, and while my initial experiences were positive, I was ultimately disappointed by how certain issues were handled by the church's leadership.

As Revelation 2:2 reminds us, "I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked people, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false." Unfortunately, I felt this wisdom was not fully upheld in my situation.

Instead of fostering open communication and transparency, I encountered actions that led to my exclusion without due process or clarity. This experience left me feeling that personal agendas were placed above the principles of justice and compassion.

I hope that the church will reflect on how such matters are handled in the future, ensuring that the community remains a place of true support and understanding for all...

Pastor Aaron is a true blessing from God. Pastor Mike as well. The staff is so amazing and each and every member. Easy sermons to understand and super funny and fun Pastor's. Great music and singing. This church is a big church but trust me you are recognized and do not feel like just a number. This church does so many amazing things for people, communities, worldwide, and for the congregation. The second serve at 11am is more relaxed and when it's football season we wear our Hawk's jerseys. Do not have to dress fancy. Everyone is welcome and fill out the paper saying your there and give it a try, I promise you won't ever want to leave or go...

Beautiful church. Very large. They have a beautiful volunteer program with just the nicest people. They assist members of the community in need of food. It is a program that any Pierce County Resident may attend. Upon arrival, you are given a ticket with a number so there is no need for volunteers to keep an eye on the line. More like a large area with comfortable chairs, a children play area and a gorgeous garden of flowers. Guests are welcome to move about but must be in line when their number is called. This place has this down quite well. Very organized...
