God’s Continuing Testament

We take the Bible seriously, not literally. We are committed to hearing God's ancient story anew and afresh in our lives and in the world today. We try to remain attentive to God's creative movement in the world. Religion and science are not mutually exclusive, and your head and heart are both welcomed into our spaces of worship. We embrace all kinds of communities and new modes of thinking. At the Kent United Church of Christ, we have the breathing room to explore and to hear, because we believe that God is still speaking,

Who We Are

What We Believe

We Believe In

The Church’s Mission
to Change Lives

Never place a period where God has placed a comma. Our mission is to change lives — individually, systemically and globally. We work to make transformation possible, but trust in God's grace. We are committed to working for justice, and we believe that lives are changed through local service, global engagement and partnerships. We believe that wherever there is need, there the church should be. Learn about our mission priorities, core values, and ways to serve.

Faith in Action

How Can I Serve?

Our faith is alive and active

At the Kent United Church of Christ, we think critically and feel deeply, welcome extravagantly and serve compassionately, walk humbly and witness boldly.

Our faith is 2,000 years old.
Our thinking is not.
