...individually growing in faith.
Members try to accept more and more the responsibility of being Christ's disciples. This includes committing themselves totally to God through Christ, and responding in faith and gratitude, praise and service to God.
...growing in faith with others.
Members try to share their faith more and more with each other. They do this by gathering together in worship, church activities and service, as well as supporting each other on the Christian path, and belonging to each other, in the church.
...helping others - while serving in the world.
The UCC mission is to bring the Gospel to bear on all situations, both personal and social, by helping people in need, building, reconciling, working for justice and peace, healing, and teaching.
...working for Christian Unity -
while serving in the world.
The UCC recognizes that all Christians share the same basic faith; they are one in the body of Christ. The UCC seeks to unite all Christians in effective ministry and mission in Christ?s name, while recognizing diversity of work and worship. An ecumenical partnership with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) was established in 1989.
