AT UNIVERSITY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST,
WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS STILL SPEAKING * ....

  • Through the Spirit of acceptance and justice held within being an Open & Affirming congregation,
  • When children and adults both learn and tell their stories of faith, and in the story we hear God's word speaking to us,
    •
  • When we gather together as a people bound in love and gifted through community,
  • Through the strong whispers and subtle nudges held within the mysteries and graces of prayer, worship and spiritual discipline,
  • In our commitment to early childhood education, and nurture of parenting skills,
  • In the many ways our members faithfully witness to the ways of peace and justice in the Missoula community and beyond.
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR WHERE YOU ARE ON LIFE'S JOURNEY,
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE!

United Church of Christ Statement of Faith
—adapted by Robert V. Moss

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord,God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.

God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ's baptism and eat at his table,to join him in his passion and victory.

God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God.

Amen.

* What's with the comma, and the words "God is Still Speaking"? The story is told that the late Gracie Allen left her husband, Comedian George Burns, a note, which he discovered after her death. The note said, "George, never put a period where God has put a comma." As people of faith, the United Church of Christ believes that God is continually revealing light and truth in and through the lives and spirit of people today, that is, God is still speaking !
