Being a Christian

Each of us are unique and beloved by God.

 Though we may be at different stages, each of us are on a spiritual journey.

A persistent search for God produces an authentic relationship with God, engendering love, strengthening faith, dissolving guilt and giving life purpose and direction.

Communion

All people of faith are invited to join Christ at Christ’s table for the sacrament of communion.

Just as many grains of wheat are gathered to make one loaf of bread and many grapes are gathered to make one cup of wine, we, the many people of God, are made one in the Body of Christ, the church. 

The breaking of bread and the pouring of wine reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice and the discipleship to which we are all called.

Baptism

 All of the baptized belong "body and soul to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

No matter who, what or where we are on life’s journey—notwithstanding race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, class or creed—

we all belong to God and to one worldwide community of faith.

All persons baptized—

past, present and future—

are connected to each other and to God through the sacrament of baptism.

We baptize during worship when the community is present because baptism includes the community’s promise of ‘love, support and care’ for the baptized.

God Calls Us . . .

To be servants in the service of others and to be good stewards of the earth’s resources.

To work for nonviolent solutions to local, national and international problems.

To be a prophetic church. In the tradition of the apostles, God calls the church to speak truth to power, liberate the oppressed, care for the poor, and comfort the afflicted.

The United Church of Christ

UCC is called to be united and a uniting church.

 That they may all be one.” (John 17:21) 

“In essentials—unity,

in nonessentials—diversity, 

in all things—charity.”

UCC has no rigid formulation of doctrine or attachment to creeds or structures. Its overarching creed is love.

UCC pastors are known for their commitment to excellence in theological preparation, interpretation of scripture and justice advocacy. Love and unity in the midst of our diversity are our greatest assets.

UCC members, congregations and structures have the breathing room to explore and to hear God’s word anew—for after all, God is still speaking.
