  • Sunday School - Returning When It's Safe

    After the Children's Chat, young people through 6th grade may leave with their teacher for Sunday School. Our lessons follow the same scripture passages that are read and reflected upon in worship.

  • Breakfast @ West Chester Senior Center - Returning When It's Safe

    It's NOT just for seniors!  The Senior Center offers the best breakfast bargain, open to the public, in Chester County!  2-year-olds through seniors join the Pastor on the second Tuesday of the month at 8:30 a.m.  No agenda, just gather for a tasty breakfast and good conversation.  

     

  • Lunch Bunch - Returning When It's Safe

    Open to all ages to enjoy lunch Friday at 1 PM.

  • Blessing of the Animals

    At Earth Sunday, we invite the whole community to gather outdoors to thank God for the animals that mean so much to us, to remember those who have died and pray for all of God's good creation. This is really an "all-come" event.


  • AppleButter Festival

    Our big "Fun-Raiser", the Applebutter festival has something for EVERYONE!  Music, food, crafters, bake sale, silent auction, raffles, and homemade applebutter, made the old-fashioned way, over an open fire according to great-great grandmother's recipe. This year's ABF will be held September 25, 2021 - details here!

Outreach

Part of the UCCEG mission statement is giving back to the community. Below is a list of some of the ways we do that.

  • On-Going Food Collection

    We have long supported various local charities with food collections including most recently West Chester University Recource Pantry & the Pride Day Collection. 

  • Our Garden

    We maintain a growing garden on our property and donate the produce to the West Chester Food Cupboard.

  • 5 for 5 Offering

    We support 5 additional offerings during the year that give to various worthy causes.

  • Salvation Army Meals

    For many years our members have supplied a meal for homeless and people in need every first Thursday of the  month.

  • Blessing of the Animals

    This special annual event also raises money for local pet/animal charities.

  • Church World Service Blanket Appeal

    By collecting Mother's Day dedications to appear in the bulletin each year we raise several hundred dollars to help provide those in need around the world with warm blankets.

  • Bread for the Children of Peru

    For at least 10 years UCCEG and it's members have sponsored children by sending money for school supplies and food staples.

  • Bridge of Hope

    Our women's group supports this organization with different collections that help single mothers and their children in Chester and Lancaster Counties.

  • Bethany Children's Home

    Our women's group also supports this non-profit that helps children placed there by the juvinile justice system.
