We at the Brookings United Church of Christ understand that faith is a matter of the mind as well as the heart, and that taking the Bible seriously means it cannot always be taken literally. 

We understand that God’s love embraces all persons equally, no matter their religion, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

We understand Christ calls us to be nothing less than global citizens; 

that the social expression of love is justice; and that spiritual concerns 

are inseparable from our commitment to the natural world. 

   We invite you to join in exploring the many ways God is still speaking. 

No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life’s journey,

 you are welcome here!
