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”
