What We Believe

What We Believe

We believe in the triune God: Creator resurrected Christ, and the Holy Spirit, who guides and brings about the creative and redemptive work of God in the world.

We believe that God is still speaking, still moving in our lives, and that we find God through engagement in worship and friendship, kindness and study, sharing and caring. We encourage personal journeys of spiritual discovery.

Jesus taught us that we are closest to God when we help others. “When I was hungry, you gave me food; when I was thirsty, you gave me something to drink…” (Matthew 25). So we strive to reach out to help others in our community and the world through hands-on service projects and generosity.

Since our founding in the 1600s, we have journeyed to become part of the United Church of Christ. We believe the UCC is called to be a united and uniting church. “That they may all be one.” (John 17:21)

In essentials–unity, in nonessentials–diversity, in all things–charity.
