Family Ministries We are currently recruiting for the Director of Family Ministries.  If you are interested, please contact the office. 

  • Children's Church

    Faith formation begins early. At University we believe children should be taught the faith on their developmentally appropriate level. This includes biblical, social, and emotional teaching geared toward faith formation where they are. Sunday’s 10 am.

  • Online Children's Ministry

    The Covid-19 pandemic gave us breakthrough opportunity to reach people online. Check out our youtube channel for children’s and family ministry lessons, activities, worship services, and more.

  • Wiggle Room

    Have you ever tried to sit with an infant or toddler through worship? We know it’s hard. We’ve provided a space for your little one to get their wiggles out if you need it. Just look for the orange door across from the sanctuary.

  • Good Idea Council

    The Good Idea Council is a Peoria Parks Project that’s hosted at University. The GIC supports middle school students across the city by engaging them in social action projects based on ideas they have to better their city.

  • Foster Village

    Foster Village Peoria is an organization with a mission to “come alongside children and families in the child welfare system and show them that they are not alone.” Foster Village is always looking for volunteers. Check them out at www.fostervillagepeoria.org.

  • Parent Small Groups

    Connect with individuals and couples who are in the same place in life as you. Raising a child takes a village, but it also takes a village to care for you! Don’t miss out on these group opportunities to grow, share, and explore life together.

  • CT Vivian School

    CT Vivian School is our adopted school we partner in ministry with in Peoria. Snack Packs, Tutoring, and Faithful Friends are programs University hosts at CT Vivian.

  • Vacation Bible School

    Our annual Bible School provides an opportunity for kids to take a deep dive into discipleship at their level. Join us in the summer for a week of fun, fellowship, and faith.
