The Federated Church of Livingston
Rooted in the values instilled by our affiliations with the American Baptist Churches (ABC) and the United Church of Christ (UCC), the Federated Church of Livingston is committed to building an inclusive and integrated community. We believe that being a good neighbor has the power to shape a new and better reality. As a diverse faith community, we engage daily with the radical message of love, peace, justice, and acceptance for all.
We strive to grow in knowledge and love, celebrating openness and encouraging each person to explore their spiritual journey freely. We believe that truth continues to speak to us and through us, guiding our actions and fostering growth. Our desire is to offer a welcoming and relaxed space for everyone to join in the journey of faith, without pressure to follow one specific path.
As an affirming church, we are OPEN TO EVERYONE, no matter who you are or where you are in life’s journey…you are welcome here!
Our Open and Affirming Covenant Statement:
We welcome everyone and celebrate each person’s uniqueness. We affirm that every individual is valued, and as reflected in the spirit of Luke 10:27, we are called to “love others with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.”
In recognizing the call to embrace one another and the commandment to love each other, the Federated Church of Livingston is an open and affirming community. We accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, family structure, race, faith background, disabilities, or economic circumstances, into the full life and ministry of this church.
“Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.” 1 John 3:18
