Morningside Hills is a loving community where people renew their spirits, grow in faith, and act for justice.
We are an Open and Affirming United Church of Christ
Sundays
Worship is at 10am on Sundays, both in-person and online via Zoom. We shape worship around relevant themes, connecting insights from Scripture with the present moment and inviting worshippers to connect with one another in compassionate, Christlike community.
Weekly Sunday School classes gather children in elementary school, while nursery care and in-sanctuary options are available during Sunday services for children 5 and under.
We blend musical styles in worship, offering brief choruses, ensemble performances, contemporary songs and occasional music videos alongside traditional hymns. Our music ministries include periodic music from the Chancel Choir, Morningside Bells, or the house band, Mass Chaos.

*A Time of Transition
Morningside Hills UCC is engaging in a period of intentional interim reflection and spiritual practices. The whole congregation is invited to join in diverse exercises of remembering, discovery, and growth. This is a necessary and helpful step a church takes before calling new pastoral leadership.
It provides opportunities to build and rebuild ties and relationships. It calls forth dreams and new visions. Visitors, neighbors, new members, and long-time participants are all welcome to share this journey with us.
