Stewardship Opportunities

At UBC, we believe everyone has something meaningful to offer. From helping behind the scenes to leading in worship, from caring for our building to dreaming up new ways to serve—there are countless ways to share your gifts. Check out some ways to get involved below. You may also peruse the UBC newsletter, events page, or contact the church office for more opportunities to walk with us!

  • UBC Office

    UBC depends on volunteers to help full-time staff accomplish regular church business.

  • College Ministry

    Be a foster parent for a college student. Provide a main dish, salad or dessert for college lunch on Sundays after the worship service. Opportunities vary throughout the year so keep an eye on the events page or newsletter for upcoming chances to serve.

  • Football Parking

    Volunteers are needed during football season to help with parking for home games.

  • Vacation Bible School

    UBC has a week-long VBS every summer. Lots of helping hands are needed to serve as leaders, helpers, and more.

  • Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Weekend of Service

    In participation of The Chapel of the Cross MLK Weekend of Service.

  • Set Up, Serving, Clean Up for Meals

    We have a variety of student lunches, potlucks, cookouts and other meals throughout the year. Help with any tasks related to these meals is greatly appreciated.

  • Chin Families

    About 20 families, originally from Chin State in Myanmar, gather at UBC. Some of those families are part of the UBC congregation and worship with us on Sunday mornings. They also have worship and children’s activities in Burmese on Sunday nights. UBC provides support to these families by donating furniture, clothes and other items such as back-to-school supplies.

  • Chinese Scholars

    The Chapel Hill Chinese Christian Church meets in the UBC Community Room for worship on various days throughout the year. They also have a Friday night ministry aimed at scholars from UNC and Duke visiting from China. This is an opportunity for these visitors to learn about Christ in a free environment. Children and Youth Bible activities also gather on Friday nights.

  • Clothes Closet

    The UBC Clothes Closet is a clothing ministry for anyone in our church but is specifically focused on the children of our Chin families. The closet started in 2011 from the idea that many of the American families were handing down and sharing clothes with each other. We wanted to extend our sharing to the Chin families. We share clothes and needed items three times a year- at Christmas, Easter, and at back-to-school time in August. 

    If you have a child age 0 to 18, we would be grateful for your outgrown clothes. If you have neighbors or family members with children, we would be grateful for their outgrown clothes. If you are not connected with children during this season of your life, we would be grateful for you to spend a bit of time thrift store shopping, donating a bit of money, or working upstairs to sort and organize clothing.
