At Hancock United Church of Christ, belonging is as important as believing. What holds us together is not that we all agree on what we believe, but rather our covenant of membership: we all belong to one community together.
Jesus once asked his disciples, “But who do you say that I am?” Our believing and our belonging is our answer to this question. To belong to Hancock means that each of us seeks to strengthen our beliefs, and we do this through several important practices: We worship together, seeking to understand God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit through prayer, preaching, singing and witnessing. We study and learn as we are able: reading the Bible, engaging in Christian Education programs, talking and sharing faithfully with each other. We engage in good works together, reaching out to the sick and the lonely, the poor and the powerless. We gather together for friendship, fellowship and kindness toward one another.
