Welcome to the Unitarian Christian Church of America
Our Mission
Our Church is centered in our “Universal Principle”, thus, the UCCA declares and proclaims: “There is only one God, creator and sustainer of all existence, giver of life to all that lives.
As God’s creation, we are to love and honor our God with every ounce of our being. When we purport to behave in a manner consistent with that belief, it is manifested by the unconditional love we have for, and the compassion we demonstrate to, all humankind and all creation.”
(Ref. Gospel of Mark 12:28-34)
Thank you for visiting...
We warmly welcome you on behalf of the UCCA and appreciate your outreach. We believe we are a “faith whose time has come, indeed a faith for today.” Our aim is not to impose a specific belief but to unite with others to promote, educate, and improve a “way of living” in harmony and peace with everyone. Please look around our site to explore the message and we hope you will decide to join the UCCA when you are ready.
Our “Platform” is the “Foundation’ that supports this ministry, and we encourage you to read it thoroughly. Keep in mind, it’s not a “formula you must follow or creed you must accept,” but rather a “sign guiding us toward living a Godly life.”
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. The world we live in is not what God intended for it to be. The old ways no longer work, nor are they relevant; it is time for an “awakening.” Our spiritual needs are unmet as we have evolved, creating a growing spiritual and moral void that must be addressed.
This is the purpose and mission of the Unitarian Christian Church of America (UCCA). The time is right, the need is clear, and the answer is waiting. We invite you to join us in becoming the revival that awakens humanity into the next century and beyond.
What do we believe?
In today’s world, especially within the Unitarian Christian Community, there is a desperate need for a Church to step forward and offer a new way in which anyone might choose
to fulfill personal spiritual needs and desires.
The old ways of “church” are being rejected, and it is time for a new way to be brought forth to fill the vacuum. This is the reason for the advent of the Unitarian Christian Church of
America (UCCA).
We are a new church founded around our Unitarian predecessors’ understandings of Christianity, now revived and revised to meet the needs of a 21st Century world, understandings that are informed by recent research and scholarship.
The purpose of UCCA is to provide a single gathering place and source of support for those who profess to follow the teachings of Jesus and strive to live by his example as it is
individually understood. It is intended to be a common gathering place for those who choose to become modern-day Unitarian Christians.
We welcome those who choose to share these Foundational Beliefs and choose to actively participate and mutually collaborate in living our Universal Principle. The explicit
purpose is not to dictate what personal faith should be nor to stand in judgment of honest personal and individual differences. Indeed, the intention is to bind together in the love of One God, as one fellowship, living in truth, peace and love for all humankind and all creation.

THANKSGIVING 2025
Numbers 6:24-26, 24 The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Every day should be "Thanksgiving." This is a statement that rings true for all of us, and for most of us, it is part of our daily lives. We start and end each day with a moment of reflection and prayer for what we will do and what we have done. We live with the awareness of God's presence with us at all times.
We should not seek a supernatural apparition or manifestation to overwhelm us and fill us with awe. Instead, we should know deep in our hearts and feel within our spirits and souls the constant presence of "God with us." We recognize and accept the truth that the 'Lifeforce,' that "Power and Energy' that sustains us, is the "Essence of God." We humble ourselves before His presence, not only at "Thanksgiving" or on our Sabbath Day, but with every heartbeat and every breath we take. Truly, we realize that it is only through His Grace, Mercy, and Love that we are alive. Because of this, we must be eternally grateful and endlessly thankful.
On this day, set aside to "count our blessings," remember our Creator, and know His love for us. Shouldn't we honor that love by extending it from ourselves to all of humanity and to all God has created? Resolve today to make every day a day of thanks, and let the world see it through how you live and exemplify God's Love in all you say and do. It's not enough to "thank God" if you don't show your gratitude by loving as God loves you. Be what God created you to be, a living testimony of thanks to our Creator for His love for us and our love for all. Let today be a Thanksgiving you remember and give thanks for God's presence in your life every moment of every day, and carry that truth within you for eternity.
Isaiah 40:31, but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
We wait for God's blessings, for Him to reveal Himself to us once again, for the wisdom, knowledge, strength, courage, and energy God provides. They are ours when we are His, and we are His when we walk in a right and godly way until that moment He calls us home. Thank God today and every day for each moment you have; it is a gift He gives, with the expectation that we will honor Him by reflecting His love from within ourselves to all creation.
Romans 15:33, “May the God of peace be with all of you. Amen.”
