Who
Is God Calling Us to Be?
What is University Congregational United Church of
Christ? Who are we? How is God calling us? Challenging us? What is the Good
News and the Joyful Song that we know and that God has given us to share with the world?
Over the past several years, our church leadership has been looking
very intentionally at these questions. We have been reflecting on who we
hear God calling us to be. We have learned a lot in this time:
We like challenges. We want to make a difference in the world. We are willing to take on “the hardest stuff”. Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the “work” and
forget about the grace and joy of our faith. We honor people wherever they are--believers,
seekers and doubters. We are looking for a faith big enough for all our
questions and all our paths. We see love at the center of what we do and peace
and justice work as an outgrowth of that love.
Where do our passions come together? What do we
hear at the heart of who we are and who God is calling us to become?
As a church, we have a long history of bringing the
gospel to bear on the hardest issues of our day, and taking significant
risks for the sake of our ministry. We have felt proud of who we are
and how God is using us at such times. We are a large congregation with
many resources. We want to make a difference today. We want to be a
church that is about risk and passion and joy.
