WHO ARE WE?
We are a congregation of the
United Church of Christ, a denomination formed in 1957 by the merger of the
Congregational Christian Churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Church. Our
roots go back in this country to the Pilgrims and to the German Reformed
Church. While there is much diversity in the United Church of Christ, we accept
together the Gospel of Christ. We affirm God as the creator of all that is, and
we seek to know Christ as personal Savior. We accept the Bible as authorative
in matters of faith and practice, considering it as the revelation of God for
humankind. We recognize that salvation is the free gift of God in Jesus Christ.
We affirm the church as the Body of Christ, into which we come through baptism
to accept the “cost and the joy of discipleship.” We are part of the historic
Church and share with other Christians the creeds and confessions of the
church. We seek to reach out in mission and ministry to the whole world. What
God has called us to do; the Holy Spirit empowers us to do.
