we are an open and affirming congregation
Who we are
The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ and its congregation actively participate and support many programs and functions within the Santa Cruz Valley.  Here are some of them: 


We encourage our members to give of themselves, their time and their talents to helping those less fortunate.

 

The Good Shepherd United Church of Christ is a gathering of people committed to creating a bold, spirited, life changing presence in the Santa Cruz Valley.  We seek to include everyone on the journey of faith because Jesus included everyone on the journey with him. 

We seek an informed faith and welcome questions that lead us to deeper places of understanding-because we don't have all the answers. We take scripture so seriously that we find it can't be taken literally.  We seek a life and faith that is grounded in service and compassion so we find ways to actively and boldly live out this call. 

We are playful people who believe in living joyfully, we love to sing, whistle, create and be moved by the spirit.  We enjoy lively worship, fellowship, study, and bread that is broken together.  Some of us live within a few blocks of the church building while others come as far as Tucson, Vail and Tubac.  Some of us came just because we live nearby, some for our wonderful music, still others as a place for our children. Whatever the reason, we wonder if we might be just what you're looking for. Come and see.
The description above can be amplified by significant phrases commonly used by Christians, which express the commitments of the United Church of Christ:

  • that they may all be one
  • in essentials unity, in nonessentials diversity, in all things charity
  • testimonies of faith rather than tests of faith
  • there is yet more light and truth to break forth from God's Holy Word
  • the priesthood of all believers
  • responsible freedom
