Guests

If you’re part of the Florida Poly community, we’d love to have you as a guest at University Church.

How to find us:
We meet on Sundays at 11:30am
[Summer 2023 note: We’re meeting at 11:30am at a house at 1256 N Lincoln Ave, Lakeland. For more info, text 863-969-8475]
in IST 1067-1068 on the Florida Poly campus.

What to expect:
Dress is mostly casual; wear what you’d normally wear.
We usually have about 20-25 people on a Sunday morning.
And don’t worry, as our guest, we won’t ask you to stand up and tell everyone your name, or anything uncomfortable like that.
After the worship service, we serve a catered lunch and all spend time building relationships together.
You’re also welcome to come early and have some coffee and meet people.

Service format:
Our service begins with a song.
Then, there’s a welcome from our pastor.
One of our members then reads a Psalm from the Bible and leads us in prayer based on that Psalm.
We then sing two more songs, and our music leader then leads us in prayer.
Then we hear a sermon, which is a message from the Bible.
We celebrate communion (aka, the Lord’s Supper) each week.
Finally, we close with a song, and a prayer, before enjoying lunch together.
The whole service typically takes about a 60-75 minutes.

Here’s a picture of us singing together during a church service.
Visitors are welcome to join in the singing or to simply think about the lyrics that we are singing.
Everyone is given a copy of the song lyrics.
