About University Bible Church (UBC)

To all who worship with us, we offer a cordial welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We endeavor to combine the warmth of gracious Christian hospitality with the fervor of a personal, devotional application of the great doctrines and eternal truths of God’s Word. This church is committed to a Christ-honoring, Bible-teaching ministry in which every effort is made to maintain a sane balance in message. We believe in a teaching pulpit from which the marvelous message of the Bible is expounded in a clear and uncompromising manner.

Founded in 1928, our property has been on the corner of Wilshire & Malcolm for 97 years, and the church was at one time the tallest building in Westwood! The University Bible Church is distinctive in many ways. Organized in October, 1931, as a Presbyterian Church, it was later changed to an undenominational “Bible” Church in order to better serve and unite all Bible-believing residents of western Los Angeles and students at UCLA. It is distinctive in its inception, for it was the outgrowth of work begun in this community by the first Pastor, Milo F. Jamison in 1926.

Our core beliefs are found in the UBC Articles of Faith:

  1. We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God – the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
  2. We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
  3. We believe in the sacrificial vicarious death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and that He thereby became a perfect substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of the world.
  4. We believe in the literal, bodily, physical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
  5. We believe in the personal bodily, and physical return of Christ, which is the blessed hope of the Church.
  6. We believe that all men are sinful and in an eternally lost condition apart from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  7. We believe that acceptance into the family of God and eternal salvation can only be secured by believing in and by faith accepting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as personal sin-bearer and Savior. Click link below for more:

Our Mission:

UBC exists to glorify the Triune God and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

 

“Then Jesus came to them and said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

We exist to Glorify God, spread the gospel, see people believe in Christ, and grow them spiritually to become mature disciples. We seek to love God, love one another, and love our community of Westwood and West Los Angeles.
