The United Church of Christ (UCC), to which our church belongs, began in 1957 as a union of several Christian traditions. It traces its roots to the Congregationalist, Christian, Evangelical, and Reformed movements of the 18th and 19th centuries -- and before that, to the Pilgrims. Besides spiritual growth, it is committed to social justice. The UCC and its forbears were the first to ordain blacks, gays, and women, and have played key roles in the abolitionist and civil-rights movements of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

From the beginning, UCC affirmed that Christians do not always have to agree in order to live in communion. UCC's motto, "that they may all be one" (John 17:20) is Jesus' prayer for the unity of the church.

Although one branch of our history dates to the Pilgrims, we are among  the most future-oriented churches in America.  Click for details.

As a consequence of its inclusive philosophy, UCC is today one of the most diverse Christian churches in America, spanning the political, social, racial, economic, and spiritual spectrums. Headquartered in Cleveland Ohio, it comprises 1.4 million members, with congregations in nearly every state.
