United Church of Christ (UCC) Connection

St. Johns UCC is a church within the larger denomination of the United Church of Christ (UCC). We are connected with the other UCC churches of Lancaster County, as we connect together as the Lancaster Association of the United Church of Christ, addressing issues and concerns within the Lancaster City and County area. We are also part of the Penn Central Conference of the United Church of Christ, this comprises the UCC churches of the Central PA area. The Association meets twice a year with the pastors of its churches and delegates of the congregations gathering for support, worship, information, and ministry.  The Penn Central Conference gathers a s a whole annually with, again, each church pastor and delegate representation.

Our UCC Connection also extends to the Lancaster Theological Seminary in Lancaster. This is an historically UCC founded and endorsed school for higher learning in the area of theology and pastoral preparation and education. Many of our church's pastors (including Pastor Brad) have received their education and training and Masters of Divinity degree from LTS.

Your gifts to UCC Connections go toward these ministries that keep us connected to our denomination background and history and remind us that we are more than one church in one community, but part of a larger entity beyond just ourselves.
