SEEKING JUSTICE:
“Open the gates of justice! I will enter and tell the Lord how thankful I am.” Psalm 118:19
In America, the topic of race continues to be difficult to discuss in many social settings. Very few Christian churches are leading bold and courageous conversations, engaging in direct social activism, and participating in civil disobedience as a way to bring attention to and disrupt racist systems and structures.
The call to be a multiracial and multicultural church is an acknowledgement that racial justice is the inclusiveness of all humans and never excludes anyone based on skin color, culture or ethnic origin. The United Church of Christ stands in solidarity with the creation narrative in Genesis 1:26-27, which clearly outlines what matters to God—all of humankind and a just world for all. God created humankind in God’s image and likeness, women and men are image bearers, sharing equal status as human beings. God did not create race, racism, superior groups of humans, and hierarchical and hegemonic social structures.
Grace UCC is a Church of Extravagant Welcome, weaving God’s message of hope, a church that believes each person is unique and valuable, a church where God is still speaking, where God is all-loving and inclusive, and an open and affirming Church. All are welcome into the arms of Christ. We are a Church of Jesus Christ who welcomes and accepts everyone as they are.
No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here. Here at Grace United Church of Christ.

Blessings, Pastor David We want to return to worshiping together in person as soon as it is considered safe to do so. We are using the County Threat Level to determine when that might happen.
