Personality Profile
 
I AM THE UCC ...
My roots go back 2,000 years, but I am very much now and today.
Instead, I embrace modern intelligent thinking:
Acceptance
Inclusiveness.
Justice.
I can even be lighthearted. My open-armed approach is appealing to people of all races and lifestyles. Which might explain why my congregations are diverse and unique.
 
Another funny thing happens when you're less judgmental. You allow people to search, discover and flourish. My friends come to me to seek their own answers, look inside themselves and explore their spiritual lives.
 
In the end, my personality is reflective of Christ's.
Open
Embracing.
Nurturing.
And eternally relevant.
