UCC Church Announcements
Get connected at UCC
What might getting connected at UCC this season look like for you? We have a number of volunteer teams at both congregations; life groups; 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 fantastic way to get to know people, to get connected, and to grow in sacrificially loving, serving and encouraging each other.
Please fill out a form for either UCC Espoo or Helsinki to let us know what volunteer teams you are interested in, and a staff member will be in touch soon!
Breakfast Ministries
Welcome to a time of deeper fellowship as we enjoy potluck breakfast together! The UCC Breakfast Ministries typically take place at the church office from 09-11:00 AM (Matinkartanontie 13, Espoo).
The next Men’s Breakfast will be on Saturday the 12th of September, on the topic of “Fighting For Our Marriages”.
The next Ladies’ Breakfast will be on Saturday the 3rd of October.
Join a Life Group:
UCC life groups typically gather at someone’s home to discuss, pray, eat and study the Bible together (most often using study questions from the digital bulletin). Participating in a life group helps you to build relationships with others while growing as a Christian. Groups typically meet a few times a month.
NOTE: Life groups usually take a break over the summer months, and pick back up again during August-September.
Fill out the sign up form, or contact Sunkyung with any questions!
Membership at UCC:
Click here to let us know you’d like to take a membership class.
This class is for anyone who is interested in learning more about membership at UCC (what we believe it means to be a church member and what that looks like in practice at UCC).
The purpose of the class is to give you all the information you will need to make a decision, one way or another, about church membership. Taking the class does not automatically mean you become a member, it is simply one step on your journey with us here at UCC.
The next class at UCC Espoo is scheduled for Sunday the 27th of September!

Starting on Friday August 21st, Friday night youth meetings will be back to the regular schedule: teens (grades 7-12) every Friday, pre-teens (grades 3-6) every other Friday starting the 28th, with some combined Bible teaching time in-between.

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 in a longer series on the Gospel of Luke.
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 (for example Advent or Easter playlists).
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).
