United Church of Christ
We are an Open and Affirming Church
The UCC designation for churches that intentionally welcome and include all persons, embracing differences of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, family structure, age, mental and physical ability, as well as racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and faith background. We invite all to share in the full life and ministry of our church, including worship, sacraments, rites, covenants, fellowship, leadership, employment, commitments, blessings and joys. Everyone is welcome because the love of Christ for each person has no bounds. Whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
This is God's world
We are God's much-loved people, so we seek to let God become real in our lives and community through worship and sacraments, hospitality and love. We are blessed by the various gifts which people bring from their faith and life experiences. We are thankful that God has gathered us in this time and place. We seek to follow the prophet Micah's call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.
We are on a journey of faith and action
Each of us and all of us together. We acknowledge Jesus Christ as our Sovereign and Savior, the one whose life, death and resurrection show us what is means to be fully human. We depend on the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit to sustain us and bring Christ alive in us. We are thankful for the guidance of Scripture, and for the witness of those who have gone before and walk with us now.
The kingdom of God is a party
We are thankful, for we are hungry and thirsty.
