Mission Statement

Memorial United Church of Christ Mission Statement

Memorial United Church of Christ is a community of faith called by God, to gather for worship and reach out in ever-widening circles as a witness to God's all-inclusive love in Jesus Christ, and to act out God's grace and mercy in deeds of teaching, healing, reconciling, nurturing, and feeding those who are hungry in body or in spirit.

Our statement as an Open and Affirming Congregation

We welcome persons of all ages, races, sexual orientations and church backgrounds to participate in the life and ministry of our church.

United Church of Christ Statement of Mission

The UCC Statement of Mission, 1987, was drafted by a church wide conference on mission in Houston, Texas, in which representatives from all communities in the church-including evangelicals, liberals, and others-tried to find common ground. The statement was affirmed by General Synod XVI later that year.

As people of the United Church of Christ, affirming our Statement of Faith, we seek within the Church Universal to participate in God's mission and to follow the way of the crucified and risen Christ.

Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are called and commit ourselves:

To praise God, confess our sin, and joyfully accept God's forgiveness;
To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our suffering world;
To embody God's Love for all people;
To hear and give voice to creation's cry for justice and peace;
To name and confront the powers of evil within and among us;
To repent our silence and complicity with the forces of chaos and death;
To preach and teach with the power of the living Word;
To join oppressed and troubled people in the struggle for liberation;
To work for justice, healing, and wholeness of life;
To embrace the unity of Christ's church;
To discern and celebrate the present and coming reign of God.
