LIVING THE WELCOME
No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
All are welcome at Bismarck UCC and have been since we opened our doors in 1954. Our primary commitment is to live out our faith in the community and world in ways that bear faithful witness to God’s love in Christ.
Bismarck UCC has a tradition of faithful and relevant worship, a dedication to education and fellowship open to all, and a commitment to being engaged in the world and a witness for peace and justice.

OUR VISION
Bismarck-Mandan United Church of Christ is a thriving church transforming our lives and community:
-
where all are unconditionally welcomed, affirmed, accepted, and loved;
-
where the good in every person is recognized and their talents are encouraged to be shared;
-
where children, youth, and adults learn that God is love and all are welcome to freely explore spirituality in a safe and nurturing environment;
-
where we can bring our personal needs and struggles and count on support from our church family – which is the loving family we all deserve;
-
where powerful messages inspire and challenge us to be caring and compassionate to all – in our church, community, and world, seeking opportunities to put our faith into action with courage to go beyond what we think we can do;
-
where we embrace the still-speaking God and live our faith in today’s world.
