At the Falmouth Congregational United Church of Christ we think that what we love is more important than what we believe, and that God called us to join Jesus in loving the world (John 3:16). There is great diversity in our community, but we are formed around these guiding words:

The United Church of Christ Statement of Faith:

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.

God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory.

God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

The Falmouth Congregational Church UCC Open & Affirming Statement, adopted May 2008

As a community of the people of God, we minister to all of God's creation affirming that we are made one in Christ.  The love of Christ for each person knows no bounds.  As an open and affirming congregation, we welcome all people regardless of race, age, marital standing, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, and differing physical, mental and emotional abilities into the full life and ministry of this community of faith.
