Therefore, we welcome everyone into our "Reconciling in Christ" congregation, as we celebrate the gifts each one brings to the life and ministry of this community of faith. ULC is a Greening Congregation: University Lutheran has made a commitment to be environmentally aware and proactive in putting "greening" practices into effect at church as well as educating parishioners about what they can do in their daily lives to be good stewards of the earth's resources. ULC was awarded this "Greening Congregation" recognition by Earth Ministry in 2003.

The University Lutheran Church logo quilt was made by Willy Ertsgaard, whose husband was pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Ballard (a neighborhood in Seattle). Mrs Ertsgaard made the quilt in about 1970 at the request of the ULC Council on the occasion of the 40th wedding anniversary of then Pastor and Mrs Bingea. Mrs. Ertsgaard later made both the white and purple paraments for ULC's altar.
