Our purpose is to bear witness to the abundant love of God as evidenced in the life and teachings of Jesus by extending radical hospitality and seeking justice as a faith community.
The mission of United Christian Church is to actively participate in the transforming ministry of Jesus in the world by:
Affirming the presence of God in all persons
Supporting all people in their search for truth and meaning
Encouraging spiritual practices that lead to wholeness
Building a caring community that pursues peace through justice
Being good stewards of God’s creation
As a progressive community of faith, United Christian Church recognizes our position of power and privilege in the lineage of the Church which has contributed to:
Christian supremacy - oppressing people of other secular and faith traditions such as Jews, Muslims, and atheists.
White supremacy - oppressing Black, Indigenous, People of Color.
Homophobia - oppressing the LGBTQIA+ community.
Misogyny - oppressing women.
Ableism - oppressing the disabled and neurodiverse.
Nationalism - oppressing immigrants.
Classism and elitism - oppressing the poor and those without access to education.
And the harm done to creation in seeking dominion over it.
We repent and seek to repair the harm done throughout this history, ancient, modern, and current, and instead enter relationships that will flourish with hope and healing and bring about a world that is equitable and just for all and in which everyone is able to experience a life of abundance and love.
We affirm the dignity, worth, importance, and personal gifts of all people—inclusive of gender, sexual orientation, age, race, ethnic background, marital status, economic circumstance, and/or difference of ability. As we continue to learn and grow in understanding, we pledge to provide a safe, supportive community in which all persons—as they share in worship, fellowship, and leadership—may find the guidance and love of God in their lives.
