As members of Peace United Church of Christ, of Rochester,
Minnesota, we are of diverse origins and opinions. We honor
this diversity. We accept the teachings of the Bible as the
primary resource of our faith, acknowledging various interpretations,
and believing that the message of Jesus Christ is one of
mercy, justice, and compassion.
Out of our diversity and with respect for each other we believe
that all people are children of God, and that we are called
upon to be merciful, just and loving. Following the example
of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we welcome all to share in our family
of faith. Our welcome is to all people of every race, nationality,
age, marital status, gender, economic status, sexual orientation
and mental or physical ability.
We strive to be open and sensitive to all people. Therefore,
we invite all who seek God’s guidance to join our
faith community and share fully in our church’s life
and all its opportunities. We pray for courage, blessing
and God’s unifying love as we seek to respond to
God’s call.
