About Our Church
|
|
 South
Congregational Church UCC has been bringing people to Christ in
the greater Springfield area since 1842, and is a member
church of the larger
United Church of Christ.
When you visit us any Sunday you will find a diverse
congregation, prayers that speak to the heart of God, music that
sings in many voices and sermons that reflect the struggles,
hopes and dreams of our lives. We believe you will find
yourself received just as you are and strengthened for whatever
is happening in your life.
We identify ourselves as a
Jesus-centered,
Open and Affirming community. Our
members and friends seek to strengthen their faith as Christians
in an environment that allows them their own identity,
regardless of race, religious background, sexual identity,
family status or financial standing. As an urban church we
welcome people of many backgrounds who are looking for community
where diversity is celebrated in language, prayer and music of
many kinds. You can learn more about who we are at South Church
by reading our
Pastor’s greeting. |

What We Believe
|
|
| As Congregationalists
and members of the United Church of Christ, we affirm the
Bible as the authoritative witness to the Word of God. We
believe in doctrinal freedom among congregations, Christian
unity, discipleship and serving others through our mission.
We worship one God who is Creator, Christ and Holy Spirit,
and with Jesus Christ as the only head of the church
we are saved with the forgiveness, grace and eternal life
that is promised to all who have faith. Here at South we
allow freedom of thought and conscience to all members,
equal participation to men and women in church ministry and
governance, and participation of baptized believers of any
age to share holy communion regardless of marital status or
church affiliation.
