UCC Burlington Staff
Greetings from our Pastor
Hello - and Welcome!
As you enter through this “virtual door” of The United Church of Christ, Congregational, in Burlington and navigate its “corridors,” I hope you’ll catch glimpses of what this church community could be for you – as well as what you could be for God’s Loving Spirit in this world through participation here. If you are seeking a thoughtful congregation that is open-minded, inclusively affirming, and environmentally "green" at heart, you’ve come to the right place!
Here, given our heritage and vision for the future, two qualities stand out: our broad sense of concern and care for this world and our covenantal nature. The first means we seek to care for all of God’s creation whether it be a single person, the entire human race, or the earth itself. The second means that our manner of caring - our stewardship - involves each member’s unique perspective in discernment and decision-making because we value everyone’s right to their own personal beliefs as well as the loving deeds we may produce together by being in relationship with one another.
If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for in a church here, maybe it’s because you are missing from our midst! If so, we could benefit from your presence and particular passions for life to enrich our well-being as a symbolic “Body of Christ" in Burlington.
If, after wandering around our website, you don’t find the information you seek, or if you have questions, I hope you’ll contact us or worship with us.
Blessings for your life journey,
Ed Koonz, Interim Pastor
