Pandemic & The Community: UCM Cares

By God’s Grace, Union Church of Manila has served as a lighthouse to the nations for over 105 years -- ministering in spite of dungeon, fire or sword. During this current Covid-19 pandemic, we find it necessary to exercise both caution and the utmost care in service to His people. Thus, we stand in solidarity with the Philippines in doing our part to be safe while demonstrating His love to the community at large.
