Eliot is a welcoming and dynamic congregation of the United Church
of Christ (UCC),
reflecting the Congregational tradition rooted in New England. Located
in Newton Corner, we are a progressive church that takes the Bible
seriously but not literally, and believes that God is still speaking to
us today.
We are a community of believers, seekers, and questioners committed to
being on a faith
journey together. Eliot strives to weave service and advocacy into the
fabric of all we do as an inter-generational community of faith. By doing
so we hope to cultivate an awareness that doing justice, serving
others, and working for change in our world is a central part of being a
Christian.
Eliot is an Open and Affirming Church. We believe that ALL people are
children of God. We recognize, celebrate, and give thanks for the rich
diversity and boundless gifts of all God’s children. We invite those of
every race, gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, faith background,
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, economic
circumstance, marital
status, and physical or developmental ability to join us in the full
life and ministry of Eliot Church.
