Our Open and Affirming Statement
Rev. Dr. Woolley, the first pastor of Park Place Congregational Church, clearly reflected in his 1884 sermon given at the dedication of the first church, that “The church should be so located as to meet the tides of society that for any reason are caused to flow near its doors”.
Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of our founders, we declare that this church be a place where all are welcomed in the spirit of Christ himself who said, “Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
This welcome is extended to all people who wish to know God and invites everyone to become a part of our common life and mission through active participation and leadership in the work and life of this congregation.
Following the example of the One that we believe to be Sovereign and Savior, Jesus Christ, we affirm each person as a child of God, and we acknowledge that we are called to be like one reconciled body with many members, seeking with others of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, age, gender, physical or mental ability, and sexual identity to journey together to the promised realm of God.
We rely upon the healing, unconditional nature of God's love and grace to be our help and guide as we move forward with the work of this church in the world.

United Church of Christ Statement of Faith
We believe in you, O God, Eternal Spirit,
God of our Savior Jesus Christ and our God, and to your deeds we testify.
You call the worlds into being,
create persons in your own image
and set before each one the ways of life and death.
You seek in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.
You judge people and nations by your righteous will
declared through prophets and apostles.
In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Savior,
you have come to us
and shared our common lot,
conquering sin and death
and reconciling the world to yourself.
You bestow upon us your Holy Spirit,
creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ,
binding in covenant faithful people of all ages,
tongues and races.
You call us into your Church
to accept the cost and joy of discipleship,
to be your servants in the service of others,
to proclaim the gospel to all the world,
to resist the powers of evil,
to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at this table,
to join him in his passion and victory.
You promise to all who trust you
forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace,
courage in the struggle for justice and peace,
your presence in trial and rejoicing,
and eternal life in your realm which has no end.
Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto you. Amen.
