University Lutheran Church Palo Alto is a LGBTQIA+ Affirming Christian Church. We know you're made in the image of God, and we welcome you as you are.

Hello!

We want the world to be a better place. We seek grace for all people and all creation. We work for justice and peace in all the earth. We desire to be closer to God and to one another. We aspire to be people who are changing the world for the better. We see the church as a movement, not an organization. We are the people of University Lutheran Church, and we are working, with each other and with God, to bring about a new way of life. Join us...

​Christ is the incarnate Word of God, is present in our gathering, is attentive to our prayers, is calling us into service, is making peace and reconciliation among us, is leading us to justice, peace, grace, and love, and is the host of our weekly communion meal; Let there be no barrier to the table of the one who frees us to be all we are meant to be.

This is a campus ministry congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, made up of students, staff, faculty, and alumni, as well as neighbors, singles, couples, families, friends, commuters, visitors, and seekers.

We are a community of... Believers, Doubters, Questioners, Explorers, Listeners, Speakers, Skeptics, Lovers, Scientists, Poets, Artists, Engineers, Wanderers, Wonderers, Sinners, Saints, Queer, Straight, Trans, Gender-Fluid, Color-Diverse, Immigrants, Natives, Confident, Curious, Confirmed, Concerned, Secure, Insecure, Activist, Contemplative, Overstretched, Overachieving, Young, Old, Broken, Restored, Marginalized, Connected, Radical, Traditional, Passionate, Persistent, Anxious, Hopeful, Open, and we are all made in the image of God.

​You are welcome here -  bring your doubts, your hopes, your questions, your longing for community and honesty, your search for connection and care. You are welcome to bring your whole self. There is a place for you at this table, as you are. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome here. (For more of what we mean by "Welcome," click here & here.)

​If you are searching for God or for a congregational community, or if you're not sure what you're searching for, join us for worship, service, fellowship, and learning. You are most welcome here... Peace.​​
