Welcome

Welcome to the home of United Presbyterian Church of Peoria on the Internet.  We hope you will take the time to explore the site and find out who we are and what we do.  We strive to be an open and welcoming congregation that follows Christ in all that we do.  We want to be the Church not only within our building, but also in the community, in our workplaces, and in our homes.  We would love to have you visit United Presbyterian Church (UPC) for Sunday morning worship or for any of our activities at the church or in the community throughout the week.

    We offer Sunday School for all ages at 9:00 am every Sunday morning including our Rotation Model for children 3-4th grade.  Every Wednesday we have Connecting Point which features a fellowship meal and then classes for children, youth, and adults.  We have a Thursday morning Bible Study and monthly “Lunch ‘N Learn” series that bring in local professionals to present lessons on important health, social, and environmental issues that matter to you.

UPC believes the church is called to serve as Jesus came not to be served but to serve.  You can find some of the ways we serve each other and the world at our "Serving” menu.
    UPC works with and donates to several local, national, and international charities and missions.  We find ways to help not only those in our community but throughout the world. We also have deacons and Stephen Ministers, as well as our Pastors, to care for the many needs of the congregation.
