UNIVERSAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Groups and services
The Universal Christian Church organizes a wide range of activities, events, and meetings to disseminate knowledge, promote dialogue and well-being, and support community members.
Everything is guided by the founding principles of our belief. All initiatives are undertaken not only to improve the individuals involved but also to help re-establish in the world the values we pursue and which have been almost completely lost, including compassion, dialogue, and learning. The activities aim to inform about a vast array of subjects, to provide opportunities for people to talk and discuss with each other, to help those in need, and to allow everyone to find his true self. The retreats are only the apex of the Church's everyday commitment through all its initiatives.
We invite you to read what we do and feel free to contact us for more information or if you wish to take part!
