About UCC

The mission of the church is to reach out and touch the lives of others with the love of Jesus Christ. The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a diverse community of Christians that come together as one church to join faith and action. Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, the United Church of Christ (UCC) has over 5,000 churches and nearly one million members across the United States. The UCC serves God in the co-creation of a just and sustainable world. Today, United Church of Christ (UCC) works alongside more than 200 mission partners and labors ceaselessly to fight injustice, in the United States and abroad.

Stillspeaking. It’s the shorter form of “God is still speaking,” an initiative by the United Church of Christ to remind us that God still has a lot more to say. Since 2004, Stillspeaking has worked with thousands of UCC churches and individuals across the country to make faith relevant again and to extend an extravagant welcome to all—because no matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome here in the United Church of Christ.

In 2004, it was concluded that there was a present and real need for the United Church of Christ to spread its message of extravagant welcome which continues to historically re-shape our understanding of the Christian faith and proclamation. The UCC responded to this call and challenge with a new identity and marketing campaign to let all others know that anyone could find a spiritual home in the United Church of Christ, be strengthened and nurtured in their faith and be blessed to reach out to others with their God-given gifts and talents.

We are a church that welcomes and accepts everyone as they are, where your mind is nourished as much as your soul. We are a church where Jesus the healer meets Jesus the revolutionary, and where together, we grow a just and peaceful world. Today, under one collective identity, we can enthusiastically lift up that the UCC is a welcoming, justice-minded Christian community. At a time when religion is too often portrayed as narrow-minded and exclusive, many are raising their voices and calling for an alternate vision:

  •  Where God is all-loving and inclusive
  • Where the Church of Jesus Christ welcomes and accepts everyone as they are
  • Where your mind is nourished as much as your soul
  • Where Jesus the healer meets Jesus the revolutionary
  • Where together we grow a just and peaceful world.
