Do you know what the best form of advertising is? It’s word of mouth! It’s hearing from someone you know and trust, that something is good! Well, that’s the best way to grow a church. A personal invitation to church, a small group session or one of our house church events is an easy way to begin to get someone familiar with the people and the feelings of being involved at UCC.
