Faces of South Church...

 

About our church...

South Congregational Church United Church of Christ has been bringing people to Christ in the greater Springfield area since 1842, and is a member church of the larger United Church of Christ.  When you visit us any Sunday you will find a diverse congregation, prayers that speak to the heart of God, music that sings in many voices and sermons that reflect the struggles, hopes and dreams of our lives.  We believe you will find yourself received just as you are and strengthened for whatever is happening in your life.

We identify ourselves as a Jesus-centered, Open and Affirming community.  Our members and friends seek to strengthen their faith as Christians in an environment that allows them their own identity, regardless of race, religious background, sexual identity, family status or financial standing.  As an urban church we welcome people of many backgrounds who are looking for community where diversity is celebrated in language, prayer and music of many kinds.  You can learn more about who we are at South Church by reading our Pastor’s greeting.

 

What We Believe

As Congregationalists and members of the United Church of Christ, we affirm the Bible as the authoritative witness to the Word of God.  We believe in doctrinal freedom among congregations, Christian unity, discipleship and serving others through our mission.  We worship one God who is Creator, Christ and Holy Spirit, and with Jesus Christ as the only head of the church we are saved with the forgiveness, grace and eternal life that is promised to all who have faith.  Here at South we allow freedom of thought and conscience to all members, equal participation to men and women in church ministry and governance, and participation of baptized believers of any age to share holy communion regardless of marital status or church affiliation.
