Mission Statement and Covenant
As people of Congregational United Church of Christ,
we seek to witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ through
the power of the Holy Spirit, accepting God's call to be
a true community of love, compassion, and nurture.
To fulfill this mission, we covenant together:
- To unite in worship: praising God, confessing our sins,
accepting God's forgiveness, proclaiming and hearing
the Word, sharing in the sacraments, and departing to
serve God in the world with gladness.
- To search for God's truth through active participation
in lifelong Christian Education, encouraging all in an
open search for a growing and meaningful faith,
honoring our responsibility to assist our children and
youth in forming their values through Christ's teachings.
- To be present with one another in times of trial and
rejoicing, celebrating our diversity and our unity,
always relying on God's grace.
- To live as witnesses to reconciliation with God through
Christ, seeking justice, healing and wholeness, reaching
out in love to believers and non-believers in response to
Christ's prayer "that they may all be one".
- To be faithful stewards of our time and our resources,
rejoicing in the faithful endeavors of all.
- To deepen our understanding and support of the United
Church of Christ and ecumenical efforts within the
wider church.
Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God. Amen.
