I had never heard of UCO before I went to Grand Valley. It was a little weird to experience charismatic worship for the first time at a prayer meeting. I soon came to feel that the Spirit was using that type of worship to work on my whole spiritual life. Everyone who was a part of UCO was extremely and genuinely nice and interested in helping me in my spiritual walk. I really enjoyed the ecumenical aspect of UCO as well. It was great to see a group of Christians who understood and were acting on God's call to having a unified Christian body. Throughout my 4 years in UCO God made me truly convicted. He used the people of UCO to draw me closer to Him in all aspects of my life. I grew more in my understanding of prayer, worship, the Bible, and living a Christian life. It was great to make friends who I could relate to spiritually, look to for support, and have countless fun times with. God has allowed me to maintain these relationships since graduating and moving out of Michigan, which has been another amazing blessing. Our prayer meetings, women's groups, and fun nights were some of the best times of my life. I formed a strong relationship with God and with the members of UCO GVSU that will last a lifetime. God provided me with countless blessings when He lead me to join UC
