Not that kind of church.

Maybe you grew up in church and left because something felt off. Maybe you've never set foot in one and aren't sure it's for you. Maybe you believe something, but you're still working out what.

All of that is welcome here.

What we do

We work to embody a spirit-safe community as Christian communities - where your spirit, your story, and your questions are held with care.

No judgment.

Show up as you are. Full stop. No dress code. No theological entrance exam. No checkbook or performance required.

No hierarchy.

Every congregation is self-governing. Your voice matters as much as everyone else’s – including the pastors.

No kidding.

We mean what we say. You are welcome here. Come see for yourself.

The denomination

The United Church of Christ is a denomination that takes faith seriously and dogma lightly. We ordain women and LGBTQ+ clergy. We argue about things that matter, and make room for people to disagree – and part as friends and neighbors.

We’re not trying to have all the answers. We are just trying to ask better questions, together.

Communities

UCC communities look different from each other. That is by design. Some are urban and activist. Some are small-town and quiet. Some are loud and musical. Some are contemplative.

What we share is a commitment to radical welcome – and the conviction that God is still speaking to each and every one of us.

God is still speaking.

– to each and every one of us.

What's welcome

Your interest.

Your questions.

Your skepticism.

Your hope.

Your faith - or your lack of faith.

We welcome all of you.
