UALC (Upper Arlington Lutheran Church)

UALC is a large and intergenerational congregation that gathers in two locations in Central Ohio. Our name stands for Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, with one of our campuses meeting in the heart of an Upper Arlington neighborhood (Lytham Road). Our second campus is a thriving community within the suburb of Hilliard (Mill Run). We believe that God has called us to be an Oasis of his kingdom for a dry and thirsty world. He has given us opportunities to connect with His people, whoever they may be, to share his love and the gift of salvation found only in his Son, Jesus Christ. We envision a future where we are so well-watered in the love and truth and Spirit of Christ that it transforms our life together, and people who encounter our church community would say, “See how they love one another,” to the glory of God. The mission of our church is to be and to make disciples of Jesus Christ, which is the mission Jesus gave his whole Church 2,000 years ago. Our Oasis vision gives us a picture of that universal Christian mission as we carry it out here at UALC.
