Who we are

We welcome you if you can sing like Andrea Bocelli or like our pastor who can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up or just got out of jail. We don’t care if you've never been to church, or haven’t been in church since your confirmation, wedding, or little Joey’s Baptism. We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60 but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome soccer moms, NASCAR dads, starving artists, treehuggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians, junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in recovery.

We welcome you if you’re having problems or you’re down in the dumps or if you don’t like “organized religion,” we’ve been there too. If you blew all your offering money at the dog track, you’re welcome here. We offer a special welcome to those who think the earth is flat, work too hard, don’t work, can’t spell, or because grandma is in town and wanted to go to church. We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down your throat as a kid or got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake. We welcome tourists, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts … and you!

Community of Faith UCC History

On June 28, 2015 three congregations of the UCC in Elyria, Ohio became one family of faith known as Community of Faith United Church of Christ. The three congregations that came together were the Lake Avenue UCC, Magyar UCC and St. Paul UCC.

The creation of Community of Faith UCC was the culmination of the work of a Transitional Team made up of members from all three congregations that included development of a constitution, bylaws, and consolidation of documents. In May 2015 each of the three congregations was presented and approved the documents that enabled the formal consolidation that occurred at a worship service on June 28, 2015 led by the Rev. Dr. Rita Root, Association Minister for the Western Reserve Association of the United Church of Christ
