Universal Church Directories Is a lovely Christian organization that is dedicated to making a yearbook which celebrates your congregation. These beautiful mementos are great for introducing new and older members to one another. They are also wonderful keepsakes for celebrating your history. I personally worked with our church consultant, who was dedicated to making a book we would love. I appreciated her willingness to encourage us to be creative. We were not pressured to buy portraits, and our people were happy. When we were finished, we had a beautifully personalized book that reflects our Church family and helps us to celebrate our 50 years of ministry. Our church consultant’s commitment to personalized service made this experience a delight. I would highly recommend her as a consultant for creating your special pictorial directory.
I know sometimes churches are hesitant to make a commitment to do a photo directory. I want to tell you an honest story about our experience with Universal Church Directories. We made the commitment to do the program and it went smoothly with no high pressure sales. However, when I received the first proof, I was disappointed. It was not at all what I was hoping for. So I called our representative and explained that I was not really happy with the proof. She made an appointment with me and came back to our church to discuss how we might fix the problem. Apparently the vision we had created was not clear. Through the proofing process we were able to give good direction to make the changes necessary to have a book we would love.
The representative’s dedication to personal customer service and Universal Church Directories’ commitment to beautiful production created a book we are proud to display and share! I would highly recommend Universal Church Directories.
Rev. Liz DeWeese Anderson Hills Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) - Cincinnati, OH
I cannot tell you how very thrilled we are with our Church Directory experience. You were great to work with (very thorough, courteous, professional and informative), the photographer was VERY talented (his portrait work was brilliant and he has an eye for posing) and we are finding the editing part of the process to be fast & efficient. The Directory looks awesome and we thought the brochure was the best we’ve ever seen.
Our congregation, like so many others, is struggling to grow and the products from Universal will assist us with the evangelism we so desperately need to carry out. A million times THANK YOU to the Universal team for making this whole experience affordable, fun, easy, and efficient!!
Reverend Paul Wayne Benjamin – PastorChrist the Redeemer – Adrian, MI
We recently completed our church directory with Universal. Just a note to let you know that everything went smoothly. Our consultant did a good job of making the process easy for us and answering any questions we had. She even checked with us afterwards to make sure there were no problems.
The photographer and salesman were very good to work with. They were always on time and kept things running smoothly during the photography sessions. Our members appreciated that they were not pressured into purchasing professional portraits. I was impressed that the finished product was delivered in the time frame we were given. Just wanted to let you know that our experience with Universal was a good one!
Linda Minnick – Administrative AssistantFirst United Methodist Church – Brazil, IN
We just finished up with our photography session for our new church directory. I just wanted to write to let you know how pleased we have been with the process so far. Our church consultant has been very helpful in working out all the details and showing us how things are going to work. The two young men, who came to photograph all the families and to show the portraits to everyone, were wonderful. They had an uphill battle with our congregation because of an earlier bad experience with a church directory. They were very professional, friendly, and positive throughout the 3 days they were with us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is considering Universal for a church directory.
Because of our bad experience a few years ago with another church directory company, and not even receiving our directories in the end, our members were not very open to purchasing portraits. This was in no way a reflection on the photography team and their job performance. We are looking forward to completing the rest of our directory process and receiving our directories in the near future. Thank you again for making this experience very positive so far.

Church Directories:
A Family Tradition
United Church Directories was founded in 1963 by my father Del Bellew and my uncle Nelson Jones. They began with a vision, and over the next thirty years United Church Directories grew to serve 10,000 churches each year. Our company was built on quality, customer service, and integrity.
Our goal at United was to provide the best ministry tools possible for churches. After selling United Church Directories in 1995, I was away from the industry for a few years. In 2002 we began to talk with pastors across the country and discovered there was a need for a new type of directory. Pastors asked for a directory that would help build relationships and could be updated.
Our new family section styles, back cover pocket, binder cover and our updateable CD-ROM have enabled us to respond to the needs of today’s churches. An expanding selection of ministry tools, no-pressure selling and exceptional customer service have made our directory program the finest service available in the industry today.
For forty years churches have trusted our family to provide their directory programs. We look forward to serving your church with a quality program that will connect your families and grow your ministry.

Words cannot articulate how much I love being a part of the
Life Church family. The people that God has allowed me to
do ministry with and ministry for is an incredible blessing.
When I reflect upon Life Church, the one aspect that stands
out is how accepting, real, and genuine the people are in
seeing others know and experience the love of Jesus Christ.

Testimonials
Universalchurch directories 1-888-742-5823 • www.universalchurchdirectories.com
Universal Church Directories Is a lovely Christian organization that is dedicated to making a yearbook which celebrates your congregation. These beautiful mementos are great for introducing new and older members to one another. They are also wonderful keepsakes for celebrating your history. I personally worked with our church consultant, who was dedicated to making a book we would love. I appreciated her willingness to encourage us to be creative. We were not pressured to buy portraits, and our people were happy. When we were finished, we had a beautifully personalized book that reflects our Church family and helps us to celebrate our 50 years of ministry. Our church consultant’s commitment to personalized service made this experience a delight. I would highly recommend her as a consultant for creating your special pictorial directory.
I know sometimes churches are hesitant to make a commitment to do a photo directory. I want to tell you an honest story about our experience with Universal Church Directories. We made the commitment to do the program and it went smoothly with no high pressure sales. However, when I received the first proof, I was disappointed. It was not at all what I was hoping for. So I called our representative and explained that I was not really happy with the proof. She made an appointment with me and came back to our church to discuss how we might fix the problem. Apparently the vision we had created was not clear. Through the proofing process we were able to give good direction to make the changes necessary to have a book we would love.
The representative’s dedication to personal customer service and Universal Church Directories’ commitment to beautiful production created a book we are proud to display and share! I would highly recommend Universal Church Directories.
Rev. Liz DeWeese Anderson Hills Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) - Cincinnati, OH
I cannot tell you how very thrilled we are with our Church Directory experience. You were great to work with (very thorough, courteous, professional and informative), the photographer was VERY talented (his portrait work was brilliant and he has an eye for posing) and we are finding the editing part of the process to be fast & efficient. The Directory looks awesome and we thought the brochure was the best we’ve ever seen.
Our congregation, like so many others, is struggling to grow and the products from Universal will assist us with the evangelism we so desperately need to carry out. A million times THANK YOU to the Universal team for making this whole experience affordable, fun, easy, and efficient!!
Reverend Paul Wayne Benjamin – PastorChrist the Redeemer – Adrian, MI
We recently completed our church directory with Universal. Just a note to let you know that everything went smoothly. Our consultant did a good job of making the process easy for us and answering any questions we had. She even checked with us afterwards to make sure there were no problems.
The photographer and salesman were very good to work with. They were always on time and kept things running smoothly during the photography sessions. Our members appreciated that they were not pressured into purchasing professional portraits. I was impressed that the finished product was delivered in the time frame we were given. Just wanted to let you know that our experience with Universal was a good one!
Linda Minnick – Administrative AssistantFirst United Methodist Church – Brazil, IN
We just finished up with our photography session for our new church directory. I just wanted to write to let you know how pleased we have been with the process so far. Our church consultant has been very helpful in working out all the details and showing us how things are going to work. The two young men, who came to photograph all the families and to show the portraits to everyone, were wonderful. They had an uphill battle with our congregation because of an earlier bad experience with a church directory. They were very professional, friendly, and positive throughout the 3 days they were with us. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is considering Universal for a church directory.
Because of our bad experience a few years ago with another church directory company, and not even receiving our directories in the end, our members were not very open to purchasing portraits. This was in no way a reflection on the photography team and their job performance. We are looking forward to completing the rest of our directory process and receiving our directories in the near future. Thank you again for making this experience very positive so far.

Church Directories:
A Family Tradition
United Church Directories was founded in 1963 by my father Del Bellew and my uncle Nelson Jones. They began with a vision, and over the next thirty years United Church Directories grew to serve 10,000 churches each year. Our company was built on quality, customer service, and integrity.
Our goal at United was to provide the best ministry tools possible for churches. After selling United Church Directories in 1995, I was away from the industry for a few years. In 2002 we began to talk with pastors across the country and discovered there was a need for a new type of directory. Pastors asked for a directory that would help build relationships and could be updated.
Our new family section styles, back cover pocket, binder cover and our updateable CD-ROM have enabled us to respond to the needs of today’s churches. An expanding selection of ministry tools, no-pressure selling and exceptional customer service have made our directory program the finest service available in the industry today.
For forty years churches have trusted our family to provide their directory programs. We look forward to serving your church with a quality program that will connect your families and grow your ministry.

Jeffrey E. BellewPresident
