Park Place Congregational Church UCC

Our Open and Affirming Statement

Rev. Dr. Woolley, the first pastor of Park Place Congregational Church, clearly reflected in his 1884 sermon given at the dedication of the first church, that “The church should be so located as to meet the tides of society that for any reason are caused to flow near its doors”.

Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of our founders, we declare that this church be a place where all are welcomed in the spirit of Christ himself who said, “Come unto me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

This welcome is extended to all people who wish to know God and invites everyone to become a part of our common life and mission through active participation and leadership in the work and life of this congregation.

Following the example of the One that we believe to be Sovereign and Savior, Jesus Christ, we affirm each person as a child of God, and we acknowledge that we are called to be like one reconciled body with many members, seeking with others of every race, ethnicity, creed, class, age, gender, physical or mental ability, and sexual identity to journey together to the promised realm of God.

We rely upon the healing, unconditional nature of God's love and grace to be our help and guide as we move forward with the work of this church in the world.
