Questions before you visit
Yes. University Square is a neighborhood of every background, and so is our church. Wherever you are from and wherever you are in life, you are welcome. Come as you are.
We are at 1010 E Busch Blvd, Suite 101-104, in Busch Point Plaza, a short drive from the neighborhood and the University area near Fowler Avenue. Parking is free and right out front.
The main morning service starts at 11:00 AM. Come a few minutes early to settle in. If you love to pray, corporate prayer begins at 8:30 AM and again 30 minutes before the service.
The easiest first step is to plan a visit, then fill out a connect card when you arrive. From there you can join a Bible study, the Monday fellowship dinner, or a midweek service.
Partner with the mission
Your generosity helps us reach University Square and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Every gift makes a difference, and giving takes only a moment.
"God loves a cheerful giver." 2 Corinthians 9:7

You can read about a church anywhere. The difference is something you experience. We would love to meet you this Sunday.
