1. Proactive. Making a difference.
2. Putting your faith into action.
An old, popular UCC bumper sticker once proclaimed, “To believe is to care, To care is to do.” Or as the book of James puts it in the Christian Scriptures, “Faith without works is dead.”
If there’s any single trait that UCC members share in common, it’s our commitment to building a better world. Our faith compels us to change things- through our advocacy, our service, our financial gifts, our prayers and our personal growth and understanding. In the UCC, ‘witnessing’ is not insisting that others must believe exactly as you do. Instead, we witness our love and faith by working for justice for the marginalized and oppressed.
Check out the National UCC and First Central's website to see and learn about all the UCC initiatives. Together we can make good things happen at home and around the world.
