Hello,
we are
UPC
Whether you are new to Ulverston or new to faith, simply curious or a life-long follower of Jesus, we would love to welcome you to UPC!
There are a number of opportunities for you to join with us during the week for a time to worship and pray together.
Madi
They will say, “This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden…”
-Ezekiel 36:35
Our vision at UPC and St John’s is to be a vibrant and growing church that exists to bring Ulverston to life. We seek to achieve this by being people with Jesus at the centre, guided by God’s Word and Spirit, living out resurrection life – the kind of life Jesus lived. We want everyone in our town and surrounding area to know and experience the love of God, and see ourselves as ‘a movement not a monument’; alive and active, living our faith, growing in our relationship with God and serving our community. The church family itself is diverse and multigenerational, loving and supporting each other through life’s joys and challenges.

Children & Families
At UPC our main priority is that all children and families hear about the good news of Jesus, have the opportunity to respond to it, and grow and share their faith. We begin our 10.30 Services as a whole Church family and then Tots (0-5 years) and Juniors (6-11 years) go to their own groups for games, crafts, activities, and teaching in a fun, caring space that’s just right for their age.
On a weekly basis:
Facts
A relaxed and friendly group. Let us make you a cuppa, so you can sit down and have a chat with other parents and carers. Your child will have fun running around, diving into our toy selection and getting involved with our crafts and singing activities! There is also an opportunity for the children to listen to a Bible story.

At UPC, we welcome everyone to join us in marking these special moments. We offer marriage and baptism preparation, and pastoral support in the event of personal loss.

We’re here to help and look forward to hearing from you.
