The United Church of Christ believes in:

Authority of the Scriptures. The Bible is the ultimate rule of faith and practice.

Doctrinal Freedom. Different convenants and confessions of faith are accepted in different congregations.

Christian Unity. All Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ and must help each other.

The Trinity. Creator, Christ and Holy Spirit are one God.

God. Acting in love, God is ever active in the world.

Jesus Christ. In Christ, the only head of the church, God has come, conquering sin and reconciling the world to Divine Love.

The Holy Spirit. God sent the Holy Spirit as the Eternal One's continuing presence and activity in the world.

The Church. The church consists of a group of people united in Christ through worship, work and witness.

Salvation. Forgiveness, grace and eternal life are promised to all who have faith.

Bearing Witness. Members must be disciples, in word and deed--the strength of their faith.

Redefining Faith. Each generation is responsible for rethinking its beliefs, as God's word unfolds and conditions change.

Serving Others. The mission of the church is to work for justice for all and to establish God's rule in the world.
