The Connecticut Conference UCC affirms the mission of the United Church of Christ in Health and Human Services. To further this mission, we seek to be in covenantal partnership with health and human services ministry institutions that share this affirmation, so the work of healing and service may be a more integral part of our life and ministry.
These groups fulfill a need for particular members of our community such as troubled youth and children, seniors, ministry students, and low-income and/or homeless people. Some are located here in Connecticut; others are wide spread. All have a mission to serve God’s people. Please take the time to find out more about these mission partners and share that information with others in your church and community.
School Mission: As a graduate theological school in the Reformed tradition, in faithfulness to Jesus Christ, we strive to educate leaders who are enlivened by rigorous study in a community embracing diversities of faith and life; devoted to the renewing of church and society through ecumenical witness and creative expression of the Gospel; and committed to enacting God’s ways of justice and love in the world.
