Who We Are
The United Church of Christ
acknowledges as its sole head, Jesus Christ,
Son of God and Savior. It acknowledges as kindred 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 its creative and
redemptive work in the world. It claims as its own the faith of the historic
Church expressed in the 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 its own in reality of worship, in honesty
of thought and expression, and in purity of heart before God. In accordance
with the teaching of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical
Christians, it recognizes two sacraments: Baptism and the Lord's Supper or
Holy Communion.
