Let s rediscover God s purpose for our lives and for His church. There are many ways we can draw together and find united purpose this week. Through the messages shared, the seminars presented and the conversations we have with fellow believers we can be strengthened and encouraged.

From 2014 to 2017: 353 scholarships have been awarded $155,837 in scholarship money has been awarded Many of our schools have been impacted Communities have benefited while students have experienced the joy of volunteering UCC would like to thank the many churches, schools and organizations that have helped fund the valuable program. As you can see, the scholarship program has been a very successful one and has been beneficial to many students in our UCC schools.
