God is Stillspeaking Congregations
God is Stillspeaking is a proclamation, identity and communication ministry of the United Church of Christ. We spread the message of God’s extravagant welcome, reaching out especially to those who have felt there is no room for them within Christianity and the church – the excluded and alienated, the spiritually homeless, the questioning.In partnership with other ministries of the United Church of Christ, we are building communities where diverse people join together to worship, grow and dream.

Coalition for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Concerns
For more than 30 years the national setting of the UCC has been on a clear course of welcome and inclusion, calling for serious study of human sexuality, supporting the civil rights of LGBT persons, and in 1985 adopting the Open and Affirming (ONA) resolution. To say that a setting of the UCC (a local church, campus ministry etc.) is “Open and Affirming” means that it has publicly declared that “gay, lesbian, bisexual” (GLB) people (or those of all “sexual orientations”) are welcome in its full life and ministry (e.g. membership, leadership, employment etc.) It bespeaks a spirit of hospitality and a willingness to live out that welcome in meaningful ways.
The Pacific Islander & Asian American Ministries
The Pacific Islander & Asian American Ministries (PAAM) was organized in 1974 at a gathering in San Francisco, California of representatives from different regions throughout the United States. The vision was to unite and move forward, at the national, regional, and local levels, as Pacific Islanders & Asian American in the United Church of Christ, sharing our unique gifts with one another.
