Rise Up and Build
Rise Up and Build
“Then I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good… And they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ So they strengthened their hands for the good work.” — Nehemiah 2:18 (ESV)
A Vision Worth Building For
God has been gracious to University Community Church Gulu. From a small gathering of students near Gulu University, we have grown into a vibrant Christ-centered Baptist community, glorifying God by making disciples, engaging the campus, and transforming the nations with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, God is calling us to take a bold step of faith, to build a permanent home for worship, discipleship, and community transformation. This is more than a building. It is a spiritual foundation, a place where students, families, and missionaries will be equipped and sent to impact generations.
The Rise Up and Build Campaign
We are launching our three-year capital campaign, Rise Up and Build, to construct the permanent home of UCC Gulu through a phase-by-phase approach. Each phase will begin once it is fully funded, ensuring responsible stewardship and visible progress along the way. Start making your donation. Together, we can make it happen!
