About Us

The University Church in Yale is a student-focused church welcoming Christian students of all backgrounds, as well as staff, faculty, post-docs, parents, alumnus/a, parents, and our New Haven neighbors. Our church life is centered around Sunday worship in Yale's historic Battell Chapel, which features beautiful music, thoughtful preaching, and the prayer of a diverse, faithful community. Outside of Sunday mornings, we have lots of fun together with retreats, study groups, meals, concerts, lectures and other events. UCY is an open and affirming congregation; we welcome persons of any denominational background (or none), race, ethnicity, age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, or physical or mental ability. Whether you are a life-long Christian, a questioning Christian, or new to Christianity, we hope that you feel at home with us.
