University A Place for U
Welcome to University AME Zion Church. University AME Zion Church was founded in 1918 to provide a refuge for African American migrant workers to gather, build relationships, and create an atmosphere for authentic worship. For nearly 100 years University AME Zion has grown from its humble, historic beginnings into a vibrant place of community reaching people from all walks of life in the Silicon Valley. Today University AME Zion Church warmly welcomes with open arms a diverse mix of cultures from varying socioeconomic and generational backgrounds. Families, singles, seniors, students, and more are finding their place at University. We are an active faith community providing love to the lost and compassion to the hurting, while supporting all people in their worship, witness, and work for God.
Mission
University AMEZ Church is a church that has been uniquely placed by God not only to reach the least, the lost and the lonely in the Bay Area, but around the world. A Church that honors the purpose of our Methodist traditions but speaks to the heart of our post modern world. A Church which strives to be the “Freedom Church” for all people no matter their race, ethnicity, age or sex.
Purpose
University AMEZ Church is actively living out the Great Commission to go make disciples as given to us by Jesus; by continually living out the the 5 purposes of being a Church of Worship, Ministry, Discipleship, Evangelism, and Fellowship.
