The United Church of Christ seeks to be: -united and uniting church -multiracial and multicultural church -church accessible to all -open and affirming church -peace with justice church We are a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed. The UCC was founded in 1957 as the union of several different Christian traditions: from the beginning of our history, we were a church that affirmed the ideal that Christians did not always have to agree to live together in communion. Our motto—"that they may all be one"—is Jesus' prayer for the unity of the church. The UCC is one of the most diverse Christian churches in the United States. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
