About
No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!
While we are almost three centuries old, our faith, thinking and commitments are definitely 21st century.
We are an Open and Affirming family of faith. We welcome all who seek to know God and love our neighbors, as we are called to do. Our church family has diverse religious backgrounds, social justice interests, talents, and treasures.
We are part of the United Church of Christ (UCC), a mainline progressive Protestant denomination. Though we are bound to other churches of our denomination for mutual support and accountability, like all UCC churches, we are an autonomous local church, making our own decisions about our worship life, organization, and program.
Open and Affirming Statement
Because we believe that all people are created in God’s image and thus are blessed and loved equally by God, and because love is a unifying and strengthening force within our Christian faith, We, the members of the Rocky Hill Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, hereby declare ourselves an Open and Affirming Christian community, actively expressing Jesus’ inclusive embrace of all people. We welcome all who seek to follow Jesus, including persons of every age, gender, race, national origin, faith background, marital status and family structure, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, mental and physical ability, economic and social status, and educational background, to share in the life, leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments, responsibilities, blessings and joys of our church family. Jesus teaches us to welcome all God’s children into God’s covenantal community. As we grow together in faith and love, we will strive to celebrate the diversity in which God has created us.
