Experience our Welcoming Church Community
At Naples United Church of Christ, our clergy, staff, and members are open and accepting of all people, and have earned the designation of ONA, or Open and Affirming by the United Church of Christ. We welcome people in a loving and inclusive manner, just as Jesus did. The best way to experience the unique character of our church is to come, visit, and meet our community.

Sunday Worship
Worship at 9 & 11 AM – Sanctuary
​
Our service is also live streamed on our website http://naplesucc.org/, Facebook page and YouTube channel. The service will be recorded and available to view later in the day.
Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month. We also collect non-perishables for the food pantry at Grace Place on Communion Sunday. The food collection point is at the circular driveway in front of the Gathering Place courtyard.
For those with disabilities, we provide hearing assistance and large print bulletins. Our Sanctuary is wheelchair and walker friendly. Ushers are available for those who may need assistance and there is ample handicapped parking.
​
Parking
We have plenty of parking spaces available on campus. Handicapped parking spaces are nearest to the church courtyard.
What to Wear
Casual clothing is welcome. Our visitors feel welcome wearing everything from shorts to suits and dresses.
Time for Children
During the 9 a.m. worship service, children ages 4 and older will hear a message from Ms. Jeanne and are invited to Sunday School following the Time for Children. Parents may pick up their children in Nelson Hall after worship.
Nursery Care
Childcare is available in the Nursery beginning at 8:30 a.m. for infants through age 4 with our childcare staff.
Music in Worship
Naples UCC music program is traditional and exemplary. Our Music Director, Dr. Becky Weese-Rumpf, arranges for top musicians from the Naples Philharmonic and select artists nationwide to perform during the service. Our music program includes choirs for children, youth and adults as well as a concert series. God created us to communicate with the very depths of our spirit, and singing is one special way to do this. Our exceptional Schantz pipe organ accompanies the singing of hymns each Sunday, which inspires and deepens our worship experience. Come be swept away as we praise God with our own voices, our choir and musicians.
Coffee and Connection!
After each service, we enjoy coffee, light bites and conversation with our members and visitors in the Gathering Place -- our welcoming and leafy courtyard. This is a great opportunity to meet people, make new friends, explore our many activities and outings, sign up for volunteering or learn about our small groups. It’s always a lively and joyous event!
VISITOR INFORMATION
If you plan to worship on Sunday, you will find our address at the bottom of the page. Our children gather in church with their parents for the beginning of the service, then go next door to Nelson Hall enjoy their own special programming during the worship service. Children are also welcome to stay with their parents in the Sanctuary. Nursery care for children 6 months to 4 years is offered at both services and is adjacent to the Sanctuary.
What about our worship services? Our services include traditional elements that make worship a beautiful and inspiring experience. We are blessed with compelling sermons, an intergenerational choir and outstanding musicians. Our services average an hour in length, and we share The Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion) on the first Sunday of each month, during which everyone is welcome to partake. For more information on worship services, go to our Worship page.
If you’d rather check us out by way of our communications and sample our worship online, that’s okay, too! You can find us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn) and you can sign up for our email newsletters and devotionals. Just go to our Stay Connected page for links.
We hope to see you this Sunday, in person or online!
