Help Us Move Forward and Grow Stronger!
Pledge Drive Update
We are now $56,000 away from meeting our financial goal for the next year of ministry! This is exciting news! We want your help to get us
across the finish line.
This year,
We
welcomed many new members. We
discovered many more people who are joining us via livestream. We want
to energize that momentum by
improving our livestream.
We want
to provide fair compensation to our ministers and staff.
We want
to reach the broader Bloomington community in partnership with our first Affiliated Community Minister, Rev. Forrest Gilmore.
Your generosity makes a major difference in the lives of many people who need our diverse and welcoming community!
Click here to make your pledge for 2018-19--choose "I want to make a Pledge Commitment." OR you may call 812-332-3695 ext. 200, OR you may email Carol Marks, Church Administrator, admin@uubloomington.org, with your pledge information. All pledges are welcome, and every pledge counts!

When Parking, Please pull all the way in
When parking on our lot, especially on the northwest corner of the property, please pull your vehicle all the way in until your tires or bumper touch the parking block or bollard. Larger vehicles and vans (like the Meadowood bus) cannot clear that corner easily on Sundays unless we pull our vehicles all the way in to their parking spots. Thanks! --Carol Marks, Church Administrator
