Who We Are

We are a diverse group of people who believe that life is a journey worth traveling and that Jesus is our best guide. We seek to discover together what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st century because we have learned that following him transforms us for our own good, the good of humanity, and for God’s glory. We seek meaning in life’s mystery, strength for its challenges, healing for its hurts, and grace for the journey. Please join us for healing and hope at our 10am Sunday morning worship service!

Our Open and Affirming statement, approved by an unanimous congregational vote in 2002, tells more about us:

We at Christ Church United in Lowell, believing that all people are equal in the sight of God, declare that we are an Open and Affirming congregation. We are called to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves, and we value the gifts of all people. We welcome to the full life and ministry of Christ Church United people of all races, ethnicities, national backgrounds and economic circumstances; people of every physical, mental and emotional condition; people of every sexual orientation, gender, and sex; people of every age; people of any marital status; and people who are searching for a relationship with God, including people from every religious background and those with no particular religious background. We strive to be a community in which all may find peace and security.

We are loosely linked with other, similar congregations throughout Massachusetts and the world who are part of the same Protestant denomination, which is called "The United Church of Christ." Our denomination has no hierarchy. The system of "government" within each congregation is democratic, e.g., each member of a congregation votes on whom to hire as their pastor.

We share our church building with two other congregations in the United Church of Christ—a Laotian congregation and an Hispanic congregation. We also host various community groups and ministries.

If you are ever in the neighborhood and are looking for a place to worship—or if you do not have a church home in the area, we invite you to visit us at 180 East Merrimack Street. Sunday worship is held at 10 a.m.
