Ministries

Church Membership

Membership reflects a commitment to a local body of believers, where accountability and spiritual growth are nurtured in the context of biblical community. Being an active member is more than just attending Sunday services, rather it includes participating in the life of the church, serving one another and submitting to godly leadership. In joining a church, you publicly declare your allegiance to Christ and His people, fostering unity and fulfilling your role in the Great Commission.

We welcome you to consider joining UCI in membership. If you will be in Istanbul for more than six months and are interested in more information about becoming a member you may join our Introduction to UCI equipping class hosted in the Spring and Fall.

Fellowship & Groups

Union Church of Istanbul hosts a bi-weekly Fellowship Meal in the garden of the Union Han on the first and third Sundays of each month.

Congregational Prayer takes place on the third Sunday of each month following the Fellowship Meal.

Home group Bible studies meet throughout the week in homes across the city.

Outreach & Service

In addition, the Tea House Conversation Club meets every Friday evening at the Han and is open to everyone.
