Upcoming Worship Services

Worship Service – Sunday, December 11, 2022

December 9, 2022

“A Mother’s Heart”, Luke 2:1-20 Twice in Luke’s gospel we hear the phrase “Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart” —  once upon the visitation of the shepherds at the birth of Jesus, and the other one at the end of the scene of the 12 year-old Jesus at the Temple.  […]

December 2, 2022

Like Joseph – Matthew 1:18 – 2:23 Only 2 of our gospels include birth narratives: Matthew and Luke.  They are very different narratives in many ways, but one of the notable differences is that Luke’s narrative is focused on Mary, with barely a mention of Joseph, while Matthew’s narrative is focused on Joseph.  If we […]

The Birth of the Messiah Took Place in THIS way? Luke 2:1-7, 21-24, 39-40 The birth narratives in Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels tell stories of great drama.  But beneath it all was a very human, and very ordinary event … a young woman became pregnant and a child was born to a peasant couple in […]

November 18, 2022

The Art of Closing Doors – Galatians 5:16-26 The celebrated “gifts of the spirit” passage in Galatians is familiar to anyone who grew up going to Sunday School.  This section is often treated as a moral imperative – what we must do to be right with God.  But there is another way to hear it.  […]

“The Power of One” Chronicles 28:1-15 This is little known passage of Scripture … but what a shame!  It is also one of the most startling (in a good way) passages in all of Scripture.  It’s about the prophet Oded.  Ever heard of him?  And it’s about the power of one person to stand up, […]

Worship Service – Sunday, October 23, 2022

October 20, 2022

Some Kind of Church Matthew 16:13-30, Acts 1:8 We can sometimes hear familiar Scripture passages very differently if we read them aloud and experiment with different points of inflection.  This is so with the two passages for this week.  We’ll be looking at the passage in Matthew’s gospel that we usually call “Peter’s great confession”, where Peter […]

About Us

University Baptist & Brethren Church has established itself as a dynamic and progressive congregation since the April day in 1922 when a small group of people gathered to organize a Baptist Church in State College. The congregation — forty charter members — met in private homes and on campus until the first church building was dedicated in 1928.
