Barneveld Congregational United Church of Christ

The Barneveld Congregational United Church of Christ is a church for all people.

Our members are not bound by any specific creed but, rather, respond to the motto:

in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.

We are people of many shapes and sizes – couples, singles, widowed, divorced,

young and old, nearly two-hundred strong. We come from many backgrounds

- Congregational, Evangelical, Reformed, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist -

and many more, and some of us never belonged to a church before we found this one.

There are enough of us to be strong, with diverse talents and concerns,

but we are small enough to know and care about each other.

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!

ON THE CALENDAR:

*** NEXT COMMUNION SUNDAY – July 5^th ***

***Please send your Summer Sports Schedules for posting in the Summer E-Pistle NOW!***
