Two affirmations inform our faith life and Christian expression at First United. They are:

 A New Creed (UCC 1996)

"We are not alone,
we live in God's world.

We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit...

and A Song of Faith (UCC 2006)

God is Holy Mystery,
beyond complete knowledge,
above perfect description.

Yet,
in love,
the one eternal God seeks relationship....
