University Presbyterian Church

About this church

University Presbyterian Church in Tempe worships Sundays at 9:30 a.m., combining traditional liturgy and music with contemporary sounds. The PC(USA) congregation describes itself as open, inclusive, and progressive, welcoming people with varied backgrounds and beliefs while emphasizing worship, learning, compassionate action, fellowship, and justice. Guests may register for Zoom worship. Clothing ranges from jeans to slacks, skirts, and dresses. Most people park in the lot at the southwest corner of East Alameda Drive; the sanctuary is the campus’s tallest building and is entered from that lot, where ushers provide a bulletin.

Children may remain in worship and use a quiet-activity corner at the rear of the sanctuary. Childcare for ages zero through five is available on request, while Sunday School for ages three through fifth grade begins at 10 a.m. during worship. From September through May, youth in grades six through twelve meet after worship from 11 a.m. to noon for discussions, fellowship, and activities; high-school students take a mission trip every two years. The site does not clarify worship length, Communion frequency or guest participation, how to request childcare, child check-in and screening, parking overflow, mobility access beyond the sanctuary route, hearing assistance, or whether every service is available through Zoom.
