About University Presbyterian Church

Welcome from the Pastor

Welcome to the UPC website. This website will offer you a glimpse of the life and ministry of University Presbyterian Church.  As the Senior Pastor of UPC for almost fifteen years, I’ve loved serving this vitally alive congregation.  I love the eclectic mix of people who make up our congregation; our location in the heart of Austin and one block from the University of Texas; the open-minded and open-hearted spirit of the congregation; the challenges of ministry that confronts us; and the difference we are making in the lives of so many people in our community.

I invite you to worship with us and serve with us.  At UPC you’ll experience a warm welcome, a generous congregation and abundant opportunities to serve others.

San Williams, Senior Pastor

Our Church

Empowered by God’s Spirit, we follow Jesus Christ in attitude, action, and love, as disciples and apostles who are equipped and sent to represent God’s reign in the world through worship, service and community.

Located in the heart of beautiful Austin, Texas, near the University of Texas campus, we provide a vibrant ministry and spiritual home for people searching for:

• a warm, welcoming, musically rich worship experience
• a tradition that is vibrant, alive, rambunctiously reverent
• a safe place to explore your faith
• food for the mind as well as the spirit
• a diverse community coming together in the spirit of God’s love, devotion, and forgiveness
• opportunities to ease the needs of the world

The members and staff of University Presbyterian Church invite you to join us in our faith journey as we wrestle with and clarify our beliefs, and demonstrate our commitment in serving the needs of our community and the world.
