YOU BELONG HERE!

An Open and Affirming Faith Community where ALL are WELCOME!

We proclaim that Christ is our Lord, that he died on the cross for our sins and through grace and the glory of the resurrection we are forgiven. Jesus calls us to be the “Church” by sharing the love, acceptance, and teachings of Christ with those around us. We understand that no one individual possesses the complete truth about God; rather, together we can learn from each other, uplift one another on our faith journeys, and explore what it means to be active, loving disciples of Christ.
We are inspired by Jesus’ call to share our faith through mission ministries, both within our community and beyond. The love of Christ and the good news of the gospel are meant to be shared. Believing that we are all called to be disciples, we strive to help all of God’s people by engaging in outreach ministries, educational ministries and community engagement.

Jesus said, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, for is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  

The members and friends of CCCUCC are dedicated to following these commandments by cultivating a diverse and inclusive faith community where acceptance, respect, love, and support thrive in the name of Jesus. We do this by worshipping together, engaging in outreach ministries, participating in bible study, discovering together what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in today’s world, and through our interaction with each other and the world.

We realize that just as life is a journey, so too is our faith development. We all make mistakes and each of us can learn from the experience of others. By opening sharing our faith challenges, joys, and experience we help each other grow in their faith and love of God. 

 

 

 

The members and friends at CCCUCC envision a kin-dom that warmly welcomes all people by sharing the love of Christ. We are dedicated to creating ministries that strengthen our faith by celebrating God’s diverse creation, positively impacting our community, and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for everyone. Together, we deepen our discipleship and strengthen our connections with Christ and one another through community With a heartfelt commitment to our role as “The Church,” we invite the wisdom, creativity, and power of the Holy Spirit to guide us in our mission to grow God’s Church, intentionally welcoming all ages, races, genders, and abilities into our vibrant community of faith.

It is our vision to spread the message that all people are precious children of God and that through our faith we learn how to build sacred community by teaching each other what it means to be a Christ-follower living in today’s world.

The story of Community Congregational Church, United Church of Christ is one of faith, community, perseverance, and inspiration from the Holy Spirit. In 1921 a small group of faithful people came together to form what is now CCCUCC with the intension of sharing their faith with the citizens of the city of New Port Richey and beyond. These faithful people gathered the resources to begin building the church in its current location. The building was finished in August 1921, and everyone joined in celebrating this dedicated achievement.  A hurricane destroyed the worship space only weeks after its completion. Believing that God was calling them to stand firmly on their faith, these courageous Christians rebuilt, and their work has become the foundation on which the current church stands today.

While CCCUCC is one of the oldest faith communities in New Port Richey, the congregation continues to deep its mission to share their faith with the community through mission and outreach ministries. In many ways we are a new congregation in our programs, thinking, and outreach locally and globally. We are a people worshiping, serving, and playing together as a family united by our love of God, self, and neighbor.
