What does
mean to me?
Follow UCSC on Social Media
“Building close friendships while having a common
goal of Worshipping The Lord.”
-Ted Starkweather (Cookeville, TN)
“God has blessed me so richly through the UCSC. It
is a place I have grown in walking more intimately
with God and learned more about the depth of the
Bible than I thought there ever was. I’ve also made
lasting relationships; the people here are my
family.”
-Megan Deel (Bowling Green, KY)
“UCSC is my family away from home, it is a place
where I am comfortable and completely trust
everyone around me. It is a place where God is at
work and I want to be part of it.”
-Casey Hardison (Chattanooga, TN)
“What the UCSC means to me is so much more than
what I’m able to put into a short quote. It’s home,
family, and most of all love. It’s my favorite group
of people.”
