UCC Church Announcements
Stronger Together – Marriage Ministry Evening:
NEXT on FRIDAY APRIL 24th!
Stronger Together is a ministry of the church dedicated to helping marriages of all stages flourish in a Christ-centered way.
In these evenings, we will provide dinner, time for general get-to-know each other, a short teaching with discussion questions for deeper conversation, and simply the ability to spend time together without kiddos as we learn to live out God’s vision for marriage.
Childcare will be provided for any who need – with any questions about childcare, please contact Gabe!
UCC Espoo Elder Recommendations
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.
We don’t currently have a class scheduled, but let us know if you are interested and we’ll make it happen!
Young Adults Ministry
We are so excited to be launching a Young Adults ministry, and we are prayerfully eager to see what God has for us in this new season. These evenings will take place at 6pm in the church office on every other Wednesday (the “odd” weeks of the calendar).
To best stay up-to-date with all the upcoming meetings and activities, contact Oliver (+358 40 4515770) to be added to the WA chat group!
Welcome!
Contact Oliver or Shaun for more details.
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.
Fill out the sign up form, or contact Gabe or Miriam with any questions!

Guide to Reading the Bible
Have a look at our Guide to Reading the Bible for an overview of what we at UCC believe about God’s Word, as well as how and why we should read it and engage with it.
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 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 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).
