ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

The United Church represents a union of three traditions - the United Church of Christ, the United Methodist Church, and German heritage. We rejoice in our heritage and our oneness. We welcome you, wherever you are in your journey, and invite you to participate in the joy of our lives together. 

We believe in an open approach to faith at The United Church. Our beliefs, the people behind our work, and our history are made to be open and accessible to all.
