We celebrate that God is with us in times of joy and adversity to strengthen and encourage us through the presence of each other and the love of Jesus forever.
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey... You Are Welcome Here! Union Congregational Church of Hancock, United Church of Christ, is a Christ-centered community that celebrates the Love of God. Though guided by Christ, we do not insist on any one interpretation of the Gospel. We understand that God reveals him/herself to different people in different ways. Although we are of varied minds, we are one body, bound together in Christ.
We are an Open and Affirming congregation. That means we seek to respond faithfully to God's call for justice and peace. We strive in word and deed to be faithful to Jesus's model of loving acceptance. It is in this spirit and in the love of God that we openly welcome all persons, inclusive of every race, ethnicity, class, age, gender, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, to join in the full life and ministry of the church.
Everyone is invited to participate in Holy Communion offered on the first Sunday of every month. Children of all ages are invited to participate. Children begin the morning in the sanctuary with their families and, after the Children's Message, go with their teacher to Sunday School. If they prefer, they may stay in the sanctuary for the service. Infants and toddlers can have fun in the nursery with one of our volunteers.We ask everyone to wear a nametag so we can call each other by name. If you don't have a nametag, please see the deacons.
If you are visiting for the first time, please sign the guest book in the back of the Church. Please include your phone number and street address if you would like a visit from our Welcome Team.
This Church serves as a community
resource for Hancock and a landmark for travelers to Downeast Maine.
It provides an open and affirming spiritual home affiliated with the
United Church of Christ that links the Church with a national and
international network of churches and service agencies. Through its
budget and special donations it supports many local organizations and
programs to provide important assistance to those in need of food,
shelter, clothing, comfort, and support.
Church members provide leadership and
the lay council manages the church operation through a variety of
committees. All important decisions are made by vote of the members
of the Church.We welcome new members from all faith traditions.
The Church is accessible (reserved parking for disabled access next to the Church and ramp at rear door) and provides audio amplification equipment for the hearing impaired.
