​OUR STORY

We keep it simple at UP Church, we love God and and we love people!  UPC started as a vision to reach people in the urban community and create a space for them to be welcomed and loved no matter where they are in their faith journey.
We believe that the gospel message is one of unmerited love and grace for all humanity.   Jesus calls us to gather and grow in our faith so we can go out to the community and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
We are Urban Poiema because we believe that everyone is God’s Poiema, or in English… Masterpiece.
We currently hold our services at, 8801 W. Lisbon Ave. Milwaukee, WI.  
​We look forward to seeing you there!

WELCOME

It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from,you are always welcome!
This is your guide for all things UP Church.  Glad you are here.  Enjoy!
