WHO WE ARE...
We are an interdenominational church grounded in the Protestant tradition of Christianity.
We strive to:
* give loving service to all people,
* seek righteousness, justice,
good will and peace.
* foster forgiveness and compassion.
* provide fellowship and unity
for all.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here!
We provide a dinner for the residents of the Rutland Dismas House on the 1st Wednesday of every month. The meal usually includes a main dish, vegetable or salad, rolls or bread, and a dessert for around 8-10 people. Sharing the food and conversation around the table with the residents and a staff member is very much appreciated; or, if you aren't able to stay, your dish can easily be dropped off on the Dismas House back porch by 5:30 PM. If you would like to provide a dish for the meal, please contact the church at unionchurchproctor@gmail.com the week before.
Be sure to check the CHURCH NEWSLETTER and CALENDAR for details of events going on at Union Church. We wouldn't want you to miss anything!
