University Christian Church is a community of disciples on mission with God to share Jesus’ love across our university neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. We gather for worship on Sunday mornings and host our neighbors for coffee all the rest of the days—come visit us next time you're on the block. In the meantime, check out some of our sermons here on the podcast.
