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."
