Polytechnic United Christian Congregation (POLY-UCC) is a student-focussed interdenominational Christian body. It is part of United Christian Congregation Malawi (UCC-Malawi), formerly known as UCC University of Malawi (UNIMA-UCC), which is found at all constituent colleges of the University of Malawi. At present, UCC-Malawi members also congregate at The Malawi College of Health Sciences and Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUARNAR). UCC-Malawi is registered with the Malawi Church of Council of Churches after it was established in the 1970s. This was facilitated by a history lecturer at Chancellor College named Kings Phiri.
Plans are there to establish UCC at all colleges in Malawi. As per purpose and definition, UCC Malawi, is a student-driven body supported by the administration of each college through the office of the chaplain.
