God’s Continuing Testament
We take the Bible seriously but not always literally, recognizing it as a sacred text filled with timeless wisdom, stories of faith, and guidance for living a life rooted in love and justice. Rather than viewing it as a rigid rulebook, we approach it as a living document that continues to speak in fresh and meaningful ways, relevant to our lives and the world today.
Listening for God's voice is central to our faith—both in ancient scripture and in the present moment. We remain attentive to the ways God’s creative spirit moves within and around us, believing that God’s work is ongoing and calling us to be open to new understandings, new challenges, and new ways of embodying faith in action.
Faith and reason go hand in hand. Religion and science are not at odds; rather, they complement one another, each offering profound insights into the mysteries of creation and existence. In worship and community life, we welcome both the mind and the heart, encouraging thoughtful exploration alongside heartfelt devotion.
Diversity enriches our faith. We celebrate the beauty that comes from welcoming people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. New ideas, fresh perspectives, and open dialogue strengthen our collective journey and deepen our understanding of God’s presence in the world.
Here, you will find space to breathe, reflect, and explore your faith authentically. Whether you come with questions, doubts, or certainty, you are welcome just as you are. We believe that God is still speaking—in creation, in acts of kindness, in the pursuit of justice, and in the stories we share together. Come join us as we continue to listen, learn, and grow in God’s boundless love.
Mission to Change Lives
Never place a period where God has placed a comma. At Bostwick Lake Congregational UCC, we believe that God’s work is ongoing, and we are called to be part of it. Through faith, action, and love, we strive to make a difference—one life, one act of kindness at a time.
We are committed to serving others, building meaningful connections, and creating a community where all are valued. Whether feeding the hungry, supporting those in need, or offering hope in difficult times, we believe the church is called to be present wherever there is need.
You’ll find a church that values compassion, service, and the courage to make a difference. Join us as we embrace God’s unfolding story and take part in the transformative work happening in our community and beyond.
