About University United Methodist Church
University United Methodist Church in College Park, Maryland is a multi-ethnic, progressive Christian congregation rooted in the Methodist tradition and committed to welcoming all people regardless of identity, background, or belief stage. Founded in 1948 as a faith community for university faculty, staff, and students, the church continues its mission to unite vital faith with intellectual curiosity, viewing them as complementary rather than competitive pursuits. As a certified Reconciling Congregation for over a decade, UUMC explicitly affirms LGBTQ+ individuals and people of every age, race, ethnicity, ability, and economic status. The community gathers for worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m., offering both in-person and live-streamed services, while also providing weekly prayer calls, children's ministries, seasonal Bible studies on topics ranging from antiracism to disability justice, and community outreach through food distribution and shared meals. Visitors will encounter a congregation dedicated to social justice, authentic worship, and genuine welcome in a space where questions and doubts are honored alongside faith.
