The United Church of Christ's mission statement

[mobyrox]

hey thought I would post this since there seems to be questions about my denomination. this comes from my church program.

We declare ourselves an "Open and Affirming" congregation of the United Church of Christ and state that we welcome all people regardless of age, sex, color, disability, and sexual orientation and we affirm them as fellow sojourners on the journey to greater spiritual fulfillment and union with God and one another.

MISSION STATEMENT:

As a diverse family of Christians, the members of this church seek to offer a friendly, warm and inviting atmosphere to those who enter our sanctuary. We acknowledge God as our Creator, Jesus the Christ as our example and teacher, and the Holy Spirit as God's living presence among us and within us. As an outgrowth of our faith, we seek to be good neighbors, to take care for our members, to support the community at large and to conduct mission projects for the good of all people.

Thanks, it's good to be at a place where you feel welcomed and people feel same as you about things...at least, we discuss things pretty rationally....

The words Jesus our Christ in that statement tells me that they do believe in the trinity. I'll let you know what I think after I visit them. Some days I don't want to be called Christian. Not because of what Christianity is but what it's become.
