What is the United Church of Christ?


The United Church of Christ is a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel
of Jesus Christ in word and deed. The UCC was founded in 1957 as the union of several
different Christian traditions: from the beginning of our history, we were a church that
affirmed the ideal that Christians did not always have to agree to live together in
communion. Our motto—"that they may all be one"—is Jesus' prayer for the unity of the
church. The UCC is one of the most diverse Christian churches in the United States. Use

community.
