This church acknowledges as its sole head,
Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Savior of man. It acknowledges
as brothers in Christ all who share in this confession. It
looks to the Word of God in the scriptures, and to the presence
and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper His creative and
redemptive work in the world. It claims as its own the faith
of the historic church expressed in ancient creeds and reclaimed
in the basic insights of the Protestant Reformers. It affirms
the responsibility of the church in each generation to make
this faith it’s own. In accordance with the teachings
of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical
Christians, it recognizes two sacraments; Baptism
and the Lord’s
Supper of Holy Communion.

What does the logo symbolize?
The symbol of the United Church of Christ comprises
a crown, cross and orb enclosed within a double oval
bearing the name of the church and the prayer of Jesus,
"That they may all be one" (John 17:21). It
is based on an ancient Christian symbol called the "Cross
of Victory" or the "Cross Triumphant."
The crown symbolizes the sovereignty of Christ. The
cross recalls the suffering of Christ—his arms
outstretched on the wood of the cross—for the
salvation of humanity. The orb, divided into three parts,
reminds us of Jesus' command to be his "witnesses
in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the
ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). The verse from Scripture
reflects our historic commitment to the restoration
of unity among the separated churches of Jesus Christ.
