Black Forest Community Church, United Church of Christ, stands as a light in the forest. We, in the spirit of Jesus’ great commandments to love God and our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:28-34) and Paul’s teaching of acceptance of one another (Romans 14:1-15: 13) feel called to welcome, affirm, and support all persons of every race, age, gender, marital status, physical or mental ability, economic status, nationality, sexual orientation or identity into the full life and ministry of this community of faith, including membership and leadership. We welcome and embrace the God-given gifts that each person brings to the life of our congregation, regardless of where they are in their faith journey. Our goal is to become a more welcoming church.

As an Open and Affirming church, we join our sisters and brothers in the United Church of Christ and all persons who are committed to the struggle for justice, love and inclusiveness, with the example and teachings of Jesus Christ as our guide.
