OUR VISION STATEMENT
Union Congregational Church - A Place where Christ is taught, proclaimed, and lived in loving fellowship with others.
OUR COVENANT
Acknowledging Jesus Christ to be our Savior and Lord and accepting the Holy Scriptures as our rule of faith and practice, and recognizing the privilege of uniting ourselves for Christian fellowship, the enjoyment of Christian ordinances, the public worship of God, and the advancement of His kingdom in the world, we do now in the sight of God, and invoking His blessing, solemnly covenant and agree with each other to associate ourselves to be a Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as is warranted by the Word of God.
We agree to maintain the institutions of the Gospel, to submit ourselves to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Church, and to walk together in brotherly love. And this we do depending upon the aid of our Heavenly Father who so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son for our salvation, and of Jesus Christ who has redeemed us with His blood, and of the Holy Spirit our Comforter and Guide.
OUR POLITY
The government of the church is vested in the body of believers who compose it. It is subject to the control of no other ecclesiastical body, but it recognizes and sustains the obligations of mutual counsel and cooperation which is common among congregational churches and it is in fellowship with all churches which acknowledge Jesus Christ to be their Divine Redeemer and Lord.
OUR DOCTRINE
The Church recognizes the Scriptures as its authority in matters of faith and practice.
