Union Congregational Church has been a family of faith celebrating God's love in Christ and sharing it with others now for the past 280 years. Because we are the direct descendants of the Pilgrims who landed in Plymouth in 1620, our goal is to offer each person a "place to land;" a place to feel at home and a place to grow in their faith.

 

Based upon the teachings of Christ to be loving and forgiving our aim is to be affirming, progressive and hopeful. We welcome any fellow pilgrim who is searching for a better way of life and want you to know that there is a place for you here.

Because we are a covenantal church, we believe in freedom of religious conscience. It is our sincere conviction that people of faith can have honest differences of opinion on the questions of the day and still be equally committed to being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  Our faith is centered around the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, however, which can be seen in the Statement of Faith of the United Church of Christ.

STATEMENT OF FAITH OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST

We believe in You, O God, Eternal Spirit, God
of our Lord Jesus Christ and our God, and to
Your deeds we testify.

You call the worlds into being, create persons in
Your own image, and set before each one the
ways of life and death.

You seek in holy love to save all people from
aimlessness and sin.

You judge people and nations by Your righteous
will declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our
crucified and risen Lord You have come to us
and shared our common lot, conquering sin and
death and reconciling the world to Yourself.

You bestow upon us Your Holy Spirit, creating
and renewing the Church of Jesus Christ,
binding in covenant faithful people of all ages
tongues and races.

You call us into Your Church to accept the cost
and joy of discipleship, to be Your servants in
the service of others, 
to proclaim the gospel to all the world and to
resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's
baptism and eat at his table, 
to join him in his passion and victory.

You promise to all who trust You forgiveness of
sins and fullness of grace, courage in the
struggle for justice and peace, 
Your presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal
life in Your realm which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto
You. Amen.
