The purpose of this Church shall be to unite the followers of Jesus Christ for the worship of God and to make God’s will preeminent in their lives, individually and collectively, especially as that will is set forth in the life, teachings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 This Church acknowledges Jesus Christ as its head, and finds in the Holy Scriptures, interpreted by the Holy Spirit through reason, faith, and conscience, its guidance in matters of faith and discipline.

 This Church recognizes the Bible as the sufficient rule of faith and practice, and holds that living in accordance with the teachings and spirit of Jesus Christ is the true test of fellowship. 

Each member shall have the undisturbed right to follow the Word of God according to the dictates of conscience under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

We are a community of faith in Jesus Christ, open to all; by following His teachings we willingly serve God, our neighbors and each other through worship, fellowship and ministry.

These five brief statements say a lot about us as a church, as a fellowship and as a family.  We have been here since 1895, when we were founded as a Congregational Society.  When the United Church of Christ was founded in 1957, we became a part of this successor in faith to the Congregational Church.  In doing so, we affirmed the importance of community and fellowship in supporting each of us as we exercise the individual right and responsibility of determining how scripture, teaching and tradition come together in each of our lives and situations.

Like life, we are both comfortable and challenging by turns, relaxed enough to “come as we are” and rigorous enough to expect that we will leave changed.  We look beyond habit and convenience to test ourselves and our faith against God’s standards as we find them through worship, scripture and each other. 

We invite you to join us for worship.  Each person who walks in our door brings new experience and perspective to inform and enrich us all in the journey we call faith.
