Who We Are

Our congregation has been meeting in the same building since 1864.  We are a small family-oriented congregation where worship is uncomplicated and Christ centered with both traditional and contemporary music.  As Presbyterians, we have a special emphasis on biblical literacy and education.

About the Pastor:

Pastor Rick Newswanger has been serving at UPC since 2003.   Rick's wife, Meg, is the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Maple Plain.  Although our congregation is part of the Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA), Rick is a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor with a Master of Divinity degree from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

The Sunday school program is taking a new approach this year.  Classes will be held during the worship hour with the children attending the worship service until after the children’s sermon when they will be dismissed to the Sunday school rooms.  They will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. This will give the children a full hour of Sunday school and will allow the parents time to socialize for a few minutes during the coffee time.   Classes will resume in September 17^th with the church picnic (Rally Day) following the Sunday school hour.

The Mary Circle meets:

We invite all ladies of the church to join us in a time of Bible study and fellowship.   You do not have to be a church member to join us.  Meetings are usually the 4^th Tuesday of the month.
