The church was founded in 1908.[4][5] The church had a large membership increase during the 1980s, when it was led by pastor Bruce Larson; Larson subsequently became co-pastor of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.[6][7][8] In 2001, the average weekly attendance was 5,000;[5] it is now 3,875.

University Presbyterian Church provides ministries for "the mentally ill, homeless, teens living on the streets, and those who are in prison."[10] The congregation was a pioneer in the practice of sending short-term mission teams overseas.[11]
