While we’re not fond of labels, our denomination, the United Church of Christ, is usually considered one of the more “progressive” mainstream protestant churches. We understand that each of us is on a personal journey to find meaning and values to live by, and we accept that each of us may arrive at very different understandings of God and faith in today’s world. We believe that the role of a church is not to dictate rules or beliefs, but to be a guide and companion on everyone’s faith journey.
