The people of UniLu are drawn together and support and challenge one another to seek ways to live out faith in daily life and offer God-given gifts in the service of others. Through ongoing conversation with God and one another, we seek to creatively shape life in the city and on campus even as life together is shaped by the Good News of Jesus Christ risen and living among us.

Life together in community reflects and respects the diversity of the many people who share in the vibrant life of University Lutheran Church of the Incarnation. As a Reconciling in Christ parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, persons of all sexual orientations and gender presentations are embraced, and their relationships are affirmed and blessed.

Throughout the year, our extended family gathers and plays, prays, and most often, we share meals. In the late spring/early summer we hold a church picnic. In late September after all of our campus neighbors have returned, we hold a “Welcome Back Luncheon” At other times of the year there are retreats to foster spiritual growth, visits to galleries and museums, concerts, movies, and yes, even more pot-luck luncheons. See our events page for more details.

We care for those who are unable to be with us in worship. We have a growing number of Lay Eucharistic Ministers who take communion out to those who are home bound. We join with members of other Lutheran congregations in our conference and in our synod for servant events and for worship and praise.

You are invited to participate fully in the spiritual life of this community, to a deepened understanding of God’s Word, and to proclaim the Good News to others. If you are interested in learning more about us and/or becoming a member, you are invited to attend a New Member Orientation. These sessions are held periodically throughout the year. Watch for details.  For more information, please contact the Church Office at 215-387-2885.
