About Us

University Lutheran Chapel was established in 1961 as a church of faithful Christians with a mission to meet the needs of University students. The chapel later became University Lutheran Church with its congregation serving the community and students.

University Lutheran is currently served by the Rev. Dr. Piotr Małysz as interim pastor and Manny Boston as Vicar. Pastor Małysz is also a professor of divinity at Samford University in Birmingham, where he teaches the history of the Christian tradition. He can be reached at pmalysz@samford.edu . Vicar Boston can be reached at eboston@samford.edu.

We are a diverse community of believers who come from all walks of life. We welcome people of all ages, races, and backgrounds, and we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

University Lutheran Church is a traditional-liturgical Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) with an open and welcoming attitude to visitors of all backgrounds. ULC partners with University of Alabama Religious Life to promote freedom of worship according to conscience.
