The United Church

All Are Welcome!

Located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, The United Church + Die Vereinigte Kirche is a union congregation of the United Church of Christ and United Methodist Church. We are a reconcling, open and affirming church offering a warm welcome to all. We are also a bilingual church, offering worship, spiritual growth, and opportunities for fellowship in English and German. We are a compassionate, vibrant, warm-hearted and open-minded community in the heart of the city.

We are a community of Christians who strive to share the love of God, good news of Jesus Christ, and the movement of the Holy Spirit in ways that invite people to join us on a joyful, life-affirming, transformative journey of faith. Jesus never turned anyone away, and we try to practice that as well. When we say all are welcome, we mean it without exception.

So no matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here!

Join us this Sunday for worship at 11:00 am and experience God's grace and peace in its fullness!

History

The United Church is both a very young and very old church. We were founded in 1975 as the merger of two established congregations, Concordia (1833) and Union (1846), seeking to provide a united Christian presence in Foggy Bottom. We embrace our rich heritage and strive to live into what God has in store for our future.

Vision

Mission Statement of The United Church

We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is called to share in Christ’s ministry to the world. We therefore covenant together as a local expression of Christ’s church to:

· Engage regularly in the worship of God, Bible study and opportunities for growth in the Christian faith

· Live in Christian love and forgiveness in our families, congregation and relations with all people

· Fulfill our Christian vocation through the stewardship of our lives and possessions both within and beyond the congregation

· Proclaim the Gospel through words and deeds to those whose lives ours touch and provide resources for others to do the same

· Render service to the community and all humankind in commitment, unity and harmony with people of all faiths

· Strive for justice and peace for all people and be faithful stewards of God’s creation.

Our Faith

The United Church is a Christian church in the United Church of Christ & United Methodist traditions.
