The Church We Strive to Be
Mission Statement |
The calling of the
Rockland Congregational Church is to be God’s ambassador of love,
justice, mercy and power within our community and the world by:
WORSHIPING
We celebrate the joy of the Gospel through our unique Congregational
heritage by providing two worship services on Sunday, celebrating
the sacraments of communion and baptism regularly. We welcome people
in worship as we proclaim our praise to God and seek spiritual
wisdom and growth.
Sunday Services Choirs Children’s Stories
Music Ushers Sacraments
Sermons Acolytes Prayer
Special Services Lay Readers Offerings
CARING
We strive for a spirit of Christian unity by reaching out to make
all feel a part of our community regardless of their level of
involvement, by incorporating newcomers into our community and
encouraging them to share their gifts of ministry, and by welcoming
visitors with Christian hospitality. We recognize and embrace
diversity in our midst and foster a spirit of tolerance and
understanding of varying viewpoints and differing spiritual
journeys.
