University Lutheran Church is a progressive and welcoming faith community serving in Seattle.
Our campus is located on the historic unceded lands of the Coast Salish peoples. Since 1917, our congregation has been responding to God's grace by: caring for creation, accompanying the underserved and marginalized, advocating for justice, and promoting peace. Therefore, we celebrate people of all sexual orientations and gender identities/expressions, affirm that Black Lives Matter, and champion the liberation of all. At ULC, we strive to make our liturgical worship approachable and relevant. This is a safe place to be curious, ask questions, doubt, and find fellow seekers. Rather than remain static, we are poised on a threshold ready and eager to creatively try new and innovative ways for mission and ministry. While we do not know where this will lead us, we trust with all our being that God is already there and is drawing us to join in the parade. We do so with excitement and joy because…
We Choose Love!
Welcome
Whether you are a lifelong Christian looking for a church home, someone questioning faith, or a curious observer—thank you for visiting University Lutheran Church.
BUILDING BELOVED COMMUNITY at ULC
On September 8th, ULC will celebrate the groundbreaking for a major remodel and accessibility addition to our facility. The construction is expected to last through July of 2025, and is being expertly handled by Abbott Construction.
This remodel seizes the opportunity to more deliberately extend hospitality to the wider community, becoming more open, more visible and more welcoming in a very public way. The priority is put on connection, and making it easier for guests to discover us and navigate access. Click here to learn what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.
