About Us:
The United Church of Christ is the 17th largest faith group in the United States, with 1.55 million members. We value independence in thought and theology; our history goes back to the Pilgrims. We are strong advocates for justice and peace, and have been ordaining women clergy since 1848. Famous UCCers? Bill Moyer, Bill Gates, Andrew Young, and Oprah Winfrey all attend UCC churches.
We take scripture seriously but with an open mind, studying the Bible through the lens of the best understandings of human experience and modern scholarship, guided by prayer;
We understand the Christian faith is a lifetime process, not a point of arrival, that faith is a matter of continuing conversions of the heart;
We seek to find and follow a vision of what Christianity is and might become, rather than solely continuing allegiance to a memory of what Christianity has been.
