For Congregations
Each of the 137 congregations of the USS carries out its ministry under the leadership of the congregation council, pastor, and other lay leaders. Discerning how God is calling them to accomplish “God’s work through their hands,” these leaders help guide their congregations to share the love of Christ within their communities in creative and life-giving ways.
