Our Church : United Church of Christ

The United Church of Christ is a community of Christians under Christ, the sole head of the church.  The United Church of Christ has nearly 3.6 million members, in over 7,100 congregations throughout America.  The goal of the UCC is to be joined together as one church on earth with all who share allegiance to Christ.

The history of the UCC stems back to the 1600’s – where four churches merged into two churches, then merged into one church – a history of ecumenical unity.

• German Reformed Church of the U.S.

• Evangelical Synod in North America

In 1934, these two churches merged into one church – Evangelical and Reformed Church.

• Congregational Churches

• The Christian Churches

In 1931, these two churches merged into one church – Congregational Christian Churches.

In 1957, these churches united to form the United Church of Christ.  Today, the UCC is interested in uniting with other churches in fulfillment of the great prayer of Jesus Christ “that they may all be one.”

The Beliefs of the UCC are as Follows

• Authority of the Scriptures

• Doctrinal Freedom

• Christian Unity

• The Trinity

• God

• Jesus Christ

• The Holy Spirit

• The Church

• Salvation

• Bearing Witness

• Redefining Faith

• Serving Others

These beliefs are summed up in the Statement of Faith.  The Statement of Faith is a testimony, not a test of faith.

The structure of the United Church of Christ is based on the local congregation.  Christ is the only acknowledged leader of the church.  No official hierarchy manages local affairs.

The UCC is a concerned church that witnesses to the Gospel of getting involved, locally, nationally, and worldwide.  Please visit the www.UCC.org web site to learn more about the United Church of Christ.
