Welcome to the United Church of Gainesville, an Open and Affirming United Church of Christ. The core of who we are is reflected in our church compact.

We join as a spiritual community in this compact:
To worship God, however known
To welcome into our church those of differing understanding and theological opinion,
to learn from our religious heritage yet to grow, by seeking new dimensions of truth,
To follow, even imperfectly, the way of Jesus in personal involvement with each other,
And, strengthened by this bond,
to act in Christian concern for the welfare of all people.

You are Welcome Here!
