Welcome to the United Church
of Christ—a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word
and deed. The UCC was founded in 1957 as the union of several different Christian traditions:
from the beginning of our history, we were a church that affirmed the ideal that Christians
did not always have to agree to live together in communion. Our motto—"that they may all be one"
— is Jesus' prayer for the unity of the church. The UCC is one of the most diverse Christian
churches in the United States.
- To proclaim in word and action the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
- To work for reconciliation and the unity of the broken Body of Christ.
- To seek justice and liberation for all.
This is the challenge of the United Church of Christ. |
