We Support Keeping Topeka's KNI Open

As a member congregation of the Kansas-Oklahoma Conference of the United Church of Christ and with other UCC congregations around the U.S., we strive to live by the message:

“No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!”

Faith is a journey, and all of us are never in exactly the same place at the same time. This is why, when we gather for the worship and work of the church, we respect, value, and celebrate the diversity of those present and the experiences they bring with them to our communal life. Our gatherings, therefore, are an exploration and discovery of faith's richness.

From our different perspectives, "we unite," in the words of our church's covenant, "for the worship of God and the service of humankind." In doing so, we attend to the witness of our ancestors in the faith. We listen for and study what they heard and learned in their encounters with the living God, as we seek to make sense of ours.
