Who we are
DOUGLASUCC
Everyone Welcome! No Exceptions!
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
At the Douglas Congregational
United Church of Christ, our Mission is to grow together spiritually as Progressive Christians, welcoming all, pursuing peace, justice, love and healing for all creation.
We demonstrate this by:
Being Open and Affirming
Acting as a Creation Justice Church
Respecting and Understanding All Belief and Faith Traditions
Recognizing and Celebrating Our Connectedness to All Peoples
Valuing Questions Rather than Answers
What is the UCC?
The UCC (United Church of Christ) has over 5,000 congregations and over one million members in the United States. The denomination places high emphasis on participation in worldwide interfaith and ecumenical efforts and has historically favored progressive views on social issues, such as civil, gay, and women's rights.
Among its rich history of many "firsts": The first mainline Christian denomination to ordain an African-American minister; the first to ordain a woman minister; the first to ordain a gay minister; the first to ordain a transgender minister; and the first to openly sanction same-sex unions. It is known as the church of "Extravagant Welcome."
What is "Open & Affirming"?
Douglas UCC is proud to be among the first to become recognized as an Open & Affirming (ONA) church, affirming the full inclusion of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender persons (LGBT) in the church's life and ministry. To learn more, visit: www.ucccoalition.org
What is a "Progressive Christian"?

By calling ourselves Progressive Christians, we mean that we recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the way to God and acknowledge that their ways are true for them, as our ways are true for us. To learn more, visit: www.progressivechristianity.org
What is a "Creation Justice Church"?
Douglas UCC is a Creation Justice Church, a congregation that is committed to seeing the interconnectedness of all of God’s creation, to practice wise stewardship of the Earth's resources, and to provide outreach in the community for environmental concerns: www.ducccreationjusticeteam.wordpress.com

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
