UCUC is a friendly, progressive Christian church with a focus on faith, love and ministry,
where all are welcome and everyone’s search for a personal spiritual path is honored and valued.
What matters to you, matters to us. We are about faith and justice, exploration and understanding.
So, no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you and your questions are welcome here.
Our communion table is open to all. We offer a safe and spiritual home where relationships based on love and respect may flourish.
We invite everyone to participate fully in the life and work of the church as ministers, worshipers, stewards, and learners. In making these affirmations, we celebrate the richness of diversity, together seeking to live as a family of God.
Your presence helps the congregation to live our mission, as you are a completely unique part of God’s wondrous creation! Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here!
At UCUC there is no formal belief statement that you must sign to be engaged in the life of the church. Instead, we invite your faith journey to join with those gathered here as we learn and grow together.
