God is Stillspeaking is a proclamation, identity and communication ministry of the United Church of Christ.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.
Come to the party. You’re invited.
