What To Expect

What to expect when visiting UCFI

As you visit Unity Chrisitan Fellowship International you can be free to worship God as you please.  God has blessed us with a ministry that is international and encompasses different ethnicities, cultures, and various age ranges.  Come and find out what God has for you!


Real-Time Sermon Translation

To comply with our vision for an international church, all services have real-time translation in Spanish and Korean (French if requested). Our international audience(s) are provided with a hand held translation receiver and comfortable head-phones to enjoy the service in their own language. (email to contact our spanish or korean pastor)

Child Care

This loving, comfortable atmosphere helps show children at the earliest ages that church is a good place to be. There is no cost.  Child care also frees parents for worship and reduces distractions.

Children’s Worship

Bible-oriented activities are often provided for preschool and elementary-age children. At this level, young children are taught to sing, pray, memorize Scripture and learn important Bible truths. They are instructed and led in worship at their own levels.

Music

Music is a major feature of our worship, before, during and even after the service itself. Instruments may range from piano and organ to synthesizers, guitars, and drums.

Whatever the accompaniment, inspired singing is the order of the day. Any given service may include traditional hymns, hand-clapping gospel songs, contemporary compositions or reverent worshipful choruses.

Music will include both congregational and special ministries — solos, duets, ensembles, choirs, instrumentals.

Worship Experience

The service may include quiet times of waiting in God’s presence, spiritually savoring the sacred atmosphere.

Other times may be vocal with collective praise as worshippers are invited to spontaneously express love and adoration to God.

In everything, a flow of worship should be evident and, despite the spontaneity and excitement, a certain properness and order.

Worship styles will reflect the spectrum of personalities. Some are quiet and reserved; some shout with joy; others are simply tender and openly emotional during times of praise or preaching.

No sincere worshipper need feel out of place. And each expression will blend without disruption into the flow of worship.

Prayer

A special time in the service is devoted to prayer. Needs from inside and outside the church family frequently are made known.

The congregation prays together. All may pray aloud but conclude with a single voice, the worship leader or other designated person praying in behalf of all.

Giving

During the service, tithes and offerings will be received. More than a collection to pay church bills, this too is worship.

Our members feel giving the tithe (the first tenth of income) and offerings declares that God comes first. It recognizes His blessing, expresses faith and seeks His guidance in every matter in life.

Free-will giving is the purpose of our tithes to God. However, visitors need not feel obligated to give.

Challenging Messages

The climax of the service comes with the preaching of God’s Word, the Bible, and an invitation for hearers to respond. The messages are fervent, inspiring and practical.

The pastor or speaker may close with an invitation for those who need forgiveness in their lives to come forward and accept Christ as Savior. Those who feel a need to rededicate their lives to Christ or to pray about other concerns are also invited to come. Believers are urged to ask God for the baptism in the Holy Spirit to further empower them for Christian service. Often everyone is invited to come pray during the altar service.

Deep emotion and excitement may or may not be demonstrated at the altars, but everyone who calls on God in faith receives something.
