UCC’s Family Life Ministry comprises of Marriage, Parenting, and Early Education ministries. Our mission is to encourage fruitful living in each family’s Christ-life, Home-life and Community-life. We believe families are placed together by our Almighty God for a plan and purpose that glorifies Him, and to grow disciples for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach others.
Marriage
The Oneness Marrieds Ministry seeks to help couples grow together and be transformed by the power of God, understand who God is and what He desires most for their marriage, to exhort couples to live under covenant commitment to God and each other, and raise and parent their children to know and love Christ.
Parenting
Our Raise Them Up Parenting Ministry exists to help parents in the discipleship and equipping of their children and provides Biblical-based training and guidance through educational material, counseling and support, parenting conferences, and the ministry helps connect other believing families as everyone grows and serves together.
MomCo (MOPS)
UCC's MomCo Moms and kiddos had a fantastic year of fellowship, growth, fun, prayer, and crafting together. Our baby numbers grew and our toddlers are now talking a lot, many of them now have younger siblings. The pre-K kiddos are learning to read and enjoy playing with babies - real ones and dolls! A great time was had by all. As we break for summer, we pray The Lord's covering over all and look forward to coming back in the Fall for the new year! If you are a young mom, expecting, or with little ones, come join us!
Starting September 18, Meetups are on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, in the morning at 9:30 AM and 6:30 PM in the evenings.
Email Averil if you are interested in joining when MomCo resumes.
Family Life Resource Wall
Stop by our Family Life Resource Wall in the downstairs hallway (near the Nursery and Pre-K classes) for Marriage and Parenting Resources.
The Family Life Ministry upholds discipleship through various avenues such as Veracity Classes, Biblical counseling, mentorship relationships, recorded video interviews/chats, resources in the bookstore and resource all, marriage retreats and parenting conferences.
If you have an interest in serving in either of these ministries, reach out to Averil at averil@univcc.org.
