CHURCH IN THE HIGHLANDS UCC

Founded in 1921, the Church in the Highlands is a congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC), a progressive Protestant denomination created in 1957, but with roots going back four hundred years, to those who came to these shores seeking religious freedom. First to ordain women to ministry, first to protest slavery, home to Abolitionists and freed slaves, first to ordain openly gay ministers (1972), we are a united and united body of believers in Jesus, the Risen Christ. There is openness in our fellowship. Everyone is welcome. Period. For us, the God we worship is the parent of us all, and each human being is our sister or brother.
