The Uniting Church in Sweden (UCS) is a church for all of life – where the encounter with Jesus Christ transforms me, you, and the world.
Together with our youth ministry, Equmenia, we are a church for all aspects of life. A place where children, youth, young adults, and adults, whatever their age or position in life, can grow in their faith. In our congregations we run lots of activities for different ages.
With over 600 congregations, we gather tens of thousands of people all over Sweden every week for services. Through a strong involvement in our society, we have a wide variety of activities. Thousands of people are engaged in choirs, scout corps, sports, homework assistance, and much more. We also work with issues relating to refugees and migration, human rights, violence and abuse against women and children, advocacy work for peace, security and sustainability, climate related activities and much more.
The organization
The UCS is a community of congregations and people who confess Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The congregations in the UCS have agreed to the content of its founding document. We form one of the largest governing bodies in Sweden when we meet for the annual Church Conference. The Church Conference is the UCS highest decision-making body and consists of elected representatives from UCS congregations. The Church Conference decides about UCS’s joint work and gives recommendations to the congregations.
