What We Believe

Our community welcomes, affirms, and celebrates all of God’s people.

As an Open and Affirming congregation, we welcome into the full life and ministry persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.

Seeking to understand and enact justice is at the heart of all that we do. We are not afraid of big questions and love to explore big ideas.

Safe Conduct Policy

We believe that we are called to enact justice in all ways - including and especially by fostering a safe church ecosystem, free from harassment and exploitation.

As a community of Christian faith, HOPE United Church of Christ is committed to creating and maintaining programs, facilities, and a community in which members, friends, Authorized Ministers, employees, and volunteers can worship, learn, and work together in an atmosphere free from all forms of discrimination, harassment, exploitation, or intimidation.
