Provo Community Church

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36
It is our mission to feed the hungry and cloth the naked. Every month we prepare sack lunches for The Food and Care Coalition. During fall and winter we provide crocheted hats for the homeless. Our facilities are being used for gatherings of Alcoholics Anonymous helping them to get out of the prison of addiction.

“God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.” Gen 1:31
The gallery stroll is held the first Friday of every month from 6-9 p.m. We decided to become involved in this event to highlight people’s creativity in our community as well as in our congregation. We also wanted to open our beautiful church and sanctuary to the community. This has been a very successful event. Light refreshments are served and everyone is welcome to come and join in the fun.

“In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:8-12
Christmas is one of the highlights in the church calendar. We remember those suffering from HIV/AIDS by providing “Aids stockings” as Christmas presents and sweeten Advent with our Cookie Walk in December.

“for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Isaiah 56:7
Our facilities are being used for gatherings of Christian churches of different languages and diverse theological traditions. We take pride in the ecumenical unity in diversity that is present in our churches.
Kirche auf Deutsch: Egal ob Studium, Geschäftsreise oder Urlaub: Herzlich Willkommen in Utah. Pfarrer Daniel Haas bietet Ihnen gerne deutsch-sprachige Seelsorge an. Krankenbesuche, Taufen, Trauungen und Bestattungen sind ebenfalls möglich. Provo liegt circa 70 Kilometer südlich von Salt Lake City. Touristen kommen häufig vorbei auf dem Weg von oder zu den Nationalparks in Süd-Utah oder Las Vegas. Als Mormonenstaat hat Utah eine einzigartige religiöse Landschaft, über die Sie bei einem Abstecher in der Gemeinde gerne mehr erfahren können. Deutschsprachige Expats in Utah County treffen sich gelegentlich zu Feiertagsgottesdienst und demnächst auch Bibelstunden. Utah bietet perfekte Locations für Ihre Traumhochzeit wie etwa Robert Redfords Sundance Resort oder das Zermatt Resort im “Schweizer Dörfchen Midway”. Pfarrer Daniel Haas kann die Zeremonie in deutscher Sprache vollziehen und in aller Regel werden Ehen, die in Utah geschlossen wurden, in Deutschland einfach anerkannt.
Pingelap, Mwalok, Mand United Church of Christ in Provo (PMM UCC) started in the month of January 2009. They started out with only one family which is the pastor’s family (The Pedrus Family). Sunday Services were held in their house. A couple of months later they were joined by five more families, the Demingko’s, the Yohp’s, the Rapaido’s, the Lemuel’s and the Isaac’s. They changed their service arrangements and started to rotate each Sunday, holding services at each of the families’ dwellings. Since the first Sunday of December 2010 PMM UCC worships in the Meno Trope Hall at Provo Community UCC. Just as Provo Community Church, the UCC in Pohnpei was founded by congregationalist missionaries in the late 1800s. Here you will find an excerpt from “A PRONOUNCEMENT ON A UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST MINISTRY AND WITNESS WITH MICRONESIANS” to learn more about the historic relationship. Once a month when communion is celebrated, PMM UCC joins Provo Community UCC for a bilingual worship service. Sunday school classes are held for children of both congregations together.
