As a commitment to God's call to ministry, Friends Church prayerfully adopted the following statements in March 1992:

Statement of Purpose

We are Friends Congregational Church* (UCC), called by God to gather as disciples of Jesus Christ:

• to be a welcoming community, open to diversity;
• to worship God with joyful hearts and open minds;
• to be a family of care, support and trust;
• to include children fully in the life and ministry of the church;
• to grow in faith and service;
• to witness to God's love for all people;
• to strive for justice and peace; and
• to invite others to share our journey.

*Originally “Friends United Church of Christ”
