WHO WE ARE

United Church of Christ

We are a group of dedicated individuals passionate about serving the Lord.

The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a distinct and diverse community of Christians that come together as one church to join faith and action.  With over 5,000 churches and nearly one million members across the U.S., the UCC serves God in the co-creation of a just and sustainable world.  The UCC is a church of firsts, a church of extravagant welcome, and a church where "…they may all be one" (John 17:21).

OUR BELIEFS

Diverse in Perspective, United by Love

The Covenant We Share:

We honor and respect those who have gone before, 

lighting the candles of our faith and opening the doors

of our beloved church in welcome to all who enter.

We acknowledge and accept our responsibility to be

good stewards of this church and faith community.

We believe Jesus fully revealed our living God's unconditional love

and calls us to share that love with all so that we may

help transform the world and ourselves.

We value community and celebrate those distinct gifts

we each bring to our community.

We strive to actively practice generosity, hospitality,

and stewardship of all of God's creation.

And in all things we seek the Righteousness, Justice, and Peace

that is God's Shalom on earth as it is in heaven.
