Fellowship at University Presbyterian Church

Our Mission: Building Community in Faith and Love

At University Presbyterian Church (UPC), our mission is to bring God’s children together in joyful fellowship and vibrant community, fostering spiritual growth and love through meaningful events and programs. Rooted in our commitment to compassionate discipleship, we strive to create a welcoming space where people of all ages—children, youth, students, adults, and seniors—can connect, grow in faith, and serve together. Located on the edge of Louisiana State University’s campus in Baton Rouge, UPC is a place where everyone, from LSU students to longtime residents, can find a spiritual home and opportunities to make a difference.

Our fellowship events and mission initiatives reflect our core values of inclusion, service, and spiritual enrichment. Whether through shared meals, creative arts, or service projects, we aim to strengthen our community and reflect Christ’s love in all we do. Join us as we grow together in faith and fellowship!
