Course Synopsis:
This course provides an introduction to the faith, polity, practice and identity of the United Church of Christ: its organization and understanding of its ministry, mission, and ecclesiology. The themes of identity, covenant, and change will frame our engagement with the material as we attempt to critically answer the question of "Who We Are?" as the United Church of Christ.
