Welcome to All!!
​
"At the United Church of Christ of Jamestown we are people of God’s extravagant welcome.
​
Whether you are young or old, gay or straight, single or partnered, happy or sad, confused or inspired, street smart or college-educated, whether you can’t pay your bills or have more than enough to share—no matter who you are, we honor you: your racial identity, your gender expression, your passions and your voice.
​
Wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome in this place, at this time, to worship the God who meets us here, just as we are, no exceptions."
