Dear Reader,
Maybe you’re here hoping to find a church home. Maybe you’re here looking for a place of welcome, a place to journey in your faith, a place to explore your doubts, a place to celebrate the many gifts of God in your life. Maybe you’re here to find a community partner because you are also committed to the work of building Beloved Community – no matter what words you may use to describe it. No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, we welcome you just as you are and just as God made you.
We hope that you will take an opportunity to visit Christ Congregational Church for Sunday worship at 9:55 AM, streamed live on our website. We also hope that you’ll take the time to see what exciting things are happening within our congregation by exploring the rest of this website and by also visiting us on our social media pages. Our handle on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are all @brocktonucc!
Our congregation is a part of the United Church of Christ, a progressive Christian denomination that has led the way in ordaining women, in work for racial justice, and in welcoming persons of all gender identities. We know that this work is not complete by any means. We are proud to be a part of this tradition, and we are committed to working for a more just and equitable world for all of God’s children. We invite you to journey with us and to work with us in revealing the signs of God’s kin-dom coming to earth!
Christ Congregational Church was once four separate Congregational churches in Brockton, consolidated in 1980 to become one strong church. It is out of that DNA that we continue to thrive – the DNA of change, of coming together under a big tent, of adapting to new times, and of listening for our God’s call to bring love and inclusion to the world.
These days our congregation is a “here comes everybody” church – with LGBTQ members and straight & cisgender members, with rich members and poor members, with Black members and Latinx members and white members, with scholars and blue collar folk, with young and old, all of us gathering to worship and work together as followers of Jesus.
Our work and our stated mission are to build Beloved Community – both within our congregation and throughout the world as far as we can reach. We hope you will consider being a part of that mission. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like to chat, and thank you again for taking the time to get to know us!
Blessings and Peace,
Pastor Jeff Kardisco
