What Do We Believe?
The United Church of Christ urges people to engage their faith actively, to think for themselves, and to develop their own beliefs. We use creeds as testaments to faith, rather than as tests of faith. We hold God the Creator, Christ, and Spirit at the center of our spiritual lives.

God is still speaking to us in many ways every day. It is our task to discern and interpret the ways God's light and truths are breaking forth.



Mission Statement

 The purpose of this church shall be to worship God and to make God's will visible in the lives of people, individually and collectively, especially as that will is set forth in the life, teachings, death and living presence of Jesus Christ.



Living Open and Affirming
Open and Affirming

The ONA Committee of Plymouth Church has adopted a mission statement that has been presented to, and approved by, the Church Council. The statement is this:
"The responsibility of the committee shall be to ensure that Plymouth's open and affirming statement exists as a living document through the celebration and advocacy of inclusion within the life of the church and its community. Working cooperatively to connect with the mission of other committees within the church, ONA will offer educational and outreach opportunities to affirm the dignity and worth of every individual while advocating for a safe, loving community of faith."

The Open and Affriming declaration, adopted by congregational vote, refers to "persons of every race, language, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic origin, physical and mental ability, economic status and nationality." In the months and years ahead, we invite careful consideration of ways in which our church may be an increasingly inviting, safe and loving community of faith.

Peace with Justice
Just Peace Church (UCC)

The congregation has also voted to become a Peace with Justice Church. The statement is this:
"We believe Jesus' teachings call us to enact shalom, to live in wholeness, harmony, community well-being and with equal justice. We affirm a process of justice-making and peace-making which encourages open dialogue, reconciliation, constructive change and nonviolence. Therefore, we are called and committed to being a Peace with Justice Church in our worship, education, community life and outreach."
