Congregational UCCDL

We are The Congregational Church of Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, United Church of Christ. We are Christian, which means we recognize in Jesus of Nazareth the divine qualities of peace, joy, love, compassion and justice. Being Christian means we endeavor to eagerly explore the Bible for its spiritual wisdom contained in symbol, parable and history. 
We are welcoming, which means, in attempting to faithfully follow Jesus in our time and place, we do our best to be inclusive and embrace diversity. We affirm that every person has worth and is created in the image of God. Therefore, we declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, which means we gratefully receive into the full life and ministry of the church persons of every race, culture, age, ability and economic status, faithfully welcoming all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and their families and friends. Jesus didn't reject people. Neither do we.
