United Church of Christ

God is Still Speaking

Welcome!

Our Mission

This congregation was founded in 1784, and today, as part of the United Church of Christ, we are priviliged to continue serving the lakes region and its many visitors.  Our people are our ministers: we try to make our lives examples of the love that Jesus taught his followers.  The mission of our church is to glorify God, to care for all God's people,  and to provide a spiritually safe place for all who would seek to know God's Spirit in Jesus the Christ.  We share in the UCC's proclamation, "God is Still Speaking."
 
We are known as 'The Country Church with the Big Heart.' We have gentle but strong Outreach Ministries which feature a free Clothes Closet (running 20 consecutive years), and an
'Adopt a Child' Christmas Program.
