Get connected at UCC
What does getting connected at UCC this season might look like for you? We have a number of volunteer teams at both congregations; various community events; clubs, gatherings or groups; and seasonal special events as well.
Serving or volunteering during a Sunday worship service or with the youth teams is a great way to get to know people, to get connected, and to grow in sacrificially loving, serving and encouraging each other.
Please fill out this form to let us know what volunteer teams or church groups / events you are interested in, and a staff member will be in touch soon!
Sunday Services at UCC
At UCC we typically teach sermon series on books of the Bible, chapter by chapter; on occasion we will have standalone sermons too. We are currently studying through the book of 2 Corinthians.
We livestream both of our Sunday services. You can always watch the latest service online at our digital bulletin (ucclife.fi/bulletin), where you will also find the Order of Worship for that Sunday.
To catch up on any Sundays you might have missed, check out our sermon archive via this link or from the link at the end of every digital bulletin called “Previous Sermons”. To get the password, please contact any staff member.
We also have a profile on Spotify called “UCC Finland” where you can find our sermon series playlists (everything we sing during any particular sermon series) as well as some seasonal playlists (like the Advent 2024 playlist for example).
If you would like to learn about volunteering on any of our Sunday service teams, please contact Daniel Ottoson or Gabe Byrd (for morning service volunteering) or Miriam Brown (for evening service volunteering).
