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.
