About Us

Foster Memorial Church UCC

What We Believe

Our church is a member church of the Southern New England Conference of the United Church of Christ (UCC) 


The United Church of Christ (UCC) is an inclusive and diverse community of Christians connected by faith that calls us to build a just world for all. Our ministries advocate at a national and global level, but our roots are planted firmly in our local churches in communities. 


We believe the UCC is called to be a united and uniting church. “That they may all be one.” (John 17:21) The UCC has no rigid formulation of doctrine or attachment to creeds or structures. Its overarching creed is loves. 


We believe that God calls us to be servants in the service of others and to be good stewards of the earth’s resources. 


We believe that the UCC is called to be a prophetic church. As in the tradition of the prophets and apostles, God calls the church to speak truth to power, liberate the oppressed, care for the poor and comfort the afflicted. 


We are a people of possibility. In the UCC, members, congregations and structures have the breathing room to explore and to hear … for after all, God is still speaking.
