The Rocky Hill Congregational Church is almost three centuries old, but our faith, thinking and commitments are definitely 21st century. We welcome all those who seek to know God and serve the human family, and so we are a people diverse in religious background, social interests and commitments, and talents for service. We are a congregation of the United Church of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination formed in 1957 from four original traditions dating back to the first Puritan settlers. As a Protestant church in the Reformed tradition, our worship focuses on the Word ( both the Biblical word and the words of the preacher ) and on the two sacraments we celebrate, baptism and Holy Communion. Though we are bound to other churches of our denominations for mutual support and accountability, we are an autonomous local church, which means the people of RHCC make all decisions about our worship life, organization, and program. That way of organization is rooted in our faithful conviction that the Holy Spirit moves in each person's life, and that when we come together for discernment and decision-making, the outcome of a democratic vote most clearly reveals God's will for this church family. We worship each Sunday in a service filled with music, prayer, time for children, opportunities to share joys and concerns, and exploring the Word together. Our congregation is committed to welcoming all, and ensuring our community is equipped to share the good news with others, and to act out its commitments to justice and peace through service to those in need: members, Rocky Hill residents, greater Hartford, and, through our support of United Church of Christ ministries and outreach and our own mission trips beyond Connecticut, brothers and sisters across the nation and around the world. There is a saying in our tradition that sums up not only the unique identity of the United Church of Christ, but what makes the Rocky Hill Congregational Church such an open, diverse and committed church family: In essentials, unity ; in non-essentials, diversity ; in all things, charity.We are committed followers of Jesus Christ, but know that discipleship takes many forms, and that we are each in different parts of a constantly unfolding journey. There are no testsof faith, but instead a covenant that together we will seek, listen to, and follow God as best we can. That makes for life together that is inspiring, fun, hard work, challenging, comforting, reassuring and always filled with anticipation about what God will say to us next.
