Union Congregational Church isn't your typical community of faith! Instead of finding things to be against, we’re all for the love of God in Christ, and we believe that our differences are a reflection of the richness of God's amazing grace and incredible love!
We are a community of faith with people from many different walks of life—and all of them have found a spiritual home here. We invite you to take a look at our Policy on Inclusivity, and ask you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. in our sanctuary, or get to know us by watching our live stream on our YouTube channel,

Our Beliefs
We believe in the triune God: Creator, resurrected Christ, the sole Head of the church, and the Holy Spirit, who guides and brings about the creative and redemptive work of God in the world.
We believe that each person is unique and valuable. It is the will of God that every person belongs to a family of faith where they have a strong sense of being valued and loved.
Statement of Inclusivity
As an Open and Affirming Church in the United Church of Christ, we affirm that every person has been created in the image of God and, without exception, we welcome all people who desire to deepen their relationship with their Creator, as revealed in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, to be Full Members of this body of Christ, entitled to all of the rites and Sacraments afforded thereto. We seek to be a church that fosters a welcoming and safe environment for all of our brothers and sisters regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. Furthermore, we commit to doing our part, in prayer and in action, to work for the day when all people will know God's unconditional love.
United Church of Christ Statement of Faith
We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:
God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.
God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.
God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.
In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord,God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.
God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.
God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table,to join him in his passion and victory.
God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace,the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.
