The United Church

About

We are a united church; UCC and UMC, English and German language. We welcome all to join in the affirmation of love and healing, and hope you'll visit!

Story

The United Church has been sharing God's unconditional love in Foggy Bottom since 1833. Our roots are in two Protestant traditions: Reformed (United Church of Christ) and Wesleyan (United Methodist), and two countries (the United States and Germany). We preach, teach, and embody a distinctive message: you are precious, sacred, and beloved of God, always.

Mission

Mission Statement of The United Church

We believe that the church of Jesus Christ is called to share in Christ’s ministry to the world. We therefore covenant together as a local expression of Christ’s church to:

· Engage regularly in the worship of God, Bible study and opportunities for growth in the Christian faith

· Live in Christian love and forgiveness in our families, congregation and relations with all people

· Fulfill our Christian vocation through the stewardship of our lives and possessions both within and beyond the congregation

· Proclaim the Gospel through words and deeds to those whose lives ours touch and provide resources for others to do the same

· Render service to the community and all humankind in commitment, unity and harmony with people of all faiths

· Strive for justice and peace for all people and be faithful stewards of God’s creation.
