On this page, you will find information on a variety of family and life stage – centered ministries at UniLu. Follow these links to jump to a specific section of the page:
Children
Children have an important place in the life and spirit of University Lutheran. UniLu is a church family that cherishes our children and encourages them to feel at home here. Children here are regarded as full members of the church, with gifts and insights to share.
Children are always welcome at the 10:30 am service. We also offer services especially designed for families in the early evening on Christmas Eve and Good Friday.
For more information, write to kids@unilu.org.
Confirmation
UniLu’s pastor, sometimes working with other staff or volunteers, leads pre-confirmation classes for junior high school students. Our two-year program offers a basic education in the Bible, Lutheran theology, and applying church teachings to everyday life, and concludes with the opportunity to publicly affirm their baptism during morning worship. If you or your child are interested in confirmation classes, please speak with one of the pastors or write to kids@unilu.org.
Seniors
Seniors at UniLu are active in all aspects of congregational life, often leading activities such as vigils and seminars. UniLu potlucks and other fun events are designed to be intergenerational, letting members connect across all age ranges. In addition, Senior Brunches are held several times a year– sometimes at UniLu, and sometimes at the home of a member or pastor–which give seniors a chance to connect with each other .
We have an active program to visit shut-ins and bring them communion on a regular basis.
For more information, write to seniors@unilu.org.
Women’s Ministry
All women in the congregation are welcome at the gatherings of Women of University Lutheran Church. The mission statement of the national Women of the ELCA describes the goals of UniLu’s local group as well: “As a community of women created in the image of God, called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we commit ourselves to grow in faith, affirm our gifts, support one another in our callings, engage in ministry and action, and promote healing and wholeness in the church, the society, and the world.”
Watch the UniLu calendar for information about our meetings, which take place several times a year. For more information, write to women@unilu.org
