Still Speaking

God is not God of the dead but of the living.  --Luke 20:38b (NEB)

In the United Church of Christ, we worship a living God.

We believe in God's continuing revelation. We always have.

When the Pilgrims set sail for the new world in 1620, their pastor, John Robinson, told them: "The Lord hath more truth and light yet to break forth from His holy Word." Translated into a 21st century idiom, we believe that God is still speaking, and we never place a period where God has left a comma.

Our United Church of Christ has been called the "early" church, because we're usually among the first in addressing important issues facing our society and in taking bold positions that challenge the status quo.

That's because we believe God continually calls us into new ministries of love, justice, and inclusiveness. And we live out that calling in new settings and circumstances.

The roots of our faith are over two thousand years old. But our thinking is not. We are a seekers' church. Our worship doesn't exclude questions and explorations. At our best, our congregations seek to include anyone and everyone who wants to listen for the voice of the still speaking God.

So, no matter who we are, or where we are on life's journey, we know we have a home in the United Church of Christ.
