Walk With Us
nurture faith, embrace belonging, and empower service
We know our reputation.
For over two hundred years, The United Church of Granville has pushed boundaries and been prophetic in ways that have disrupted the status quo.
Peace and justice organizations have been born in this place. Abolitionists were members of our congregation. We celebrated PRIDE back in the 1990s when most churches didn’t.
And, although the costs have occasionally been steep, we have–and continue to be–uncompromising in our faith and values.
You’ll find us:
speaking at local city council meetings, working with those who are unsheltered and feeding the hungry, registering voters, protesting in city squares, running for local government, and so, so much more.

I joined the United Church of Granville during a time where I felt like I needed community and couldn't find any. Walking in my first Sunday I was suddenly surrounded by people who cared about me and wanted to be there for me, even when they hardly knew me. Since then, UCG has taught me the definition of the word community and I am so proud to spend my Sundays here with this wonderful group of people.

I moved from Columbus to Licking County in 2019 and stayed involved with my church there through 2020. But then I knew I wanted to find a faith community and spiritual home nearby. Before ever even attending a service at UCG, I met a few folx from the church at the first ever Granville Pride in 2021. It was at that point that I knew this is where I belonged. I love the way UCG shows up for each other and for the community and I want to be a part of it!
