What is the service like?

 That varies somewhat from Sunday to Sunday. Generally speaking our worship service lasts 50-60 minutes.  


An usher will provide you with a bulletin that describes our order of worship which includes prayers,  songs,  music and a sermon.  We use a hymnal for our songs.  


You can sit anywhere.  Some people sit in the same place each week, but they usually arrive early, and will be happy to share a pew with you. 


On most Sundays we have a wonderful Fellowship Time following worship, with refreshments and conversation. 


We would love to have you join us!

What does UCC stand for?

 The United Church of Christ! We are a relatively young denomination,  created out of mergers of 4 smaller protestant groups, but our history spans five centuries, back to the Puritan days in New England.   Our churches are independent, but bound together by covenant.  Today the UCC speaks of offering An Extravagant Welcome to all.
