Who We Are


Welcome to the Web pages of United Christian Church of Renton.

We are a merged congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ. We are an Open and Affirming Congregation that celebrates diversity of God's creation. We want you to come as you are and be who you are. We encourage discovering the blessing and gifts God bestows on you and on us as a congregation.

Our statement of who we are was adopted in December of 2002 reads as follows:

As a community formed by the living presence of Jesus Christ, we embrace Christ's teachings and regard each human being as a sacred child of God, to be treated with respect and dignity. We welcome to this fellowship all those who seek to build, by God's direction and grace, lives based upon personal integrity, compassion for others, and faithfulness in human relationships. The presence and spiritual gifts of each person are treasured regardless of age, marital status, physical ability, gender, race, sexual orientation, economics, politics, or cultural background. The services and ministries of this congregation are available to all. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to break down the barriers that divide us as a human family and to bring healing to all of God's creation.

We invite you to take a tour of our Web pages. If you find a community that has any appeal to you we would like to invite you to come and worship with us at 10:45 on a Sunday morning

   
The Welcome Church

If a friendly welcoming church you're seeking
One where God is still speaking
Try United Christian Church
And likely end your search
We are certain to welcome you
And are open and affirming too

Where all are welcome at God's table
To remember Jesus born in a stable
His life that led to a cross
So ours would not be a loss
And the hope his resurrection gives our life
For renewal and direction

So come worship and see
That we welcome diversity
And as God's children all
We come to answer the Creator's call
So come join our journey of love
To seek to do the will of the great God above
