United Presbyterian Church of Peoria, IL

United Presbyterian Church is a congregation that cares. We provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care for our members and those in our community. We have a member care committee that works to make sure our members are cared for, contacted, and able to participate in church. The Transportation Committee runs the church bus in order for shut-ins and others who are unable to drive to come to church. Our Health and Wellness Committee provides resources, seminars, and services to enhance and maintain physical health. Deacons and Stephen Ministers care for the spiritual needs of the congregation and the pastors provide pastoral counseling and hospital visitations. Either a pastor or our parish nurse visits the hospital every day of the week. If you are in need of care please contact the church office.

LUNCH 'N' LEARN

We are now beginning our 5th year of Lunch ‘n’ Learn programming for United Presbyterian Church. This is an outreach effort by the Health/Wellness Committee to the greater Peoria community to “take a break from your daily routine and learn about various subjects and issues”. A wide variety of topics such as Art, Travel, Health, Spirituality, Technology, Nutrition and Medicine are offered on a monthly basis on the second Tuesday of each month from Noon-1:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.

WOMEN'S EXERCISE

Don't let those muscles and joints rebel! Join other women for an hour of low-impact exercises, including mild stretches and light weight lifting, designed to maintain fitness for activities of daily living.

BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS

The Health and Wellness Committee sponsors blood pressure screenings on the first Sunday of the month from 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. in the Fellowship Hall. Health professionals are on hand to take your blood pressure and record it to help you keep track of your blood pressure from month to month. No appointments are necessary.
