U-GROUPS

WHAT ARE
U-GROUPS?

A "Unity Group" or U-Group is UCJC's version of small group ministry. These groups consist of 6-12 people from our church and local community who are committed to growing together spiritually and relationally through studying God's word, fellowship, serving together and sharing life with one another. 

 

U-Groups are designed to provide a sense of belonging, and a more intimate opportunity to share faith and build stronger relationships. Ultimately U-Groups are meant to help us fulfill our vision to Embrace God, Embrace one another, and Embrace purpose.

WHY
U-GROUPS?

And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart. -Acts 2:46 (KJV)

​

  • Jesus modeled this with the twelve disciples.

  • We were created for relationships, with Father God and one another.

  • U-Groups make it easier for members to share faith, life, experiences and vision.

  • U-Groups provide a sense of belonging and help deepen relationships.

  • U-Groups help us to live authentically and to walk out life together.

  • U-Groups help you understand the Bible and how to apply God's Word to your everyday life.

  • U-Groups help us to live in the spirit of Christ Jesus.

  • U-Groups can help you walk out discipleship, worship, fellowship, ministry and evangelism. (Acts 2:42-47)
