Every church included below is an affiliated United Church of Christ congregation. Some of those are union churches, churches formed with connections to two or more denominations, but all are UCC. Many of our partner programs in other denominations maintain their own lists, so if you are not UCC, please check with those programs.
If you are the representative of an Open and Affirming UCC church not listed; or if you need to make updates/corrections to your congregation’s listing, please contact us at ona@openandaffirming.org.

Because each congregation in the United Church of Christ is independent, and therefore free to make its own decisions, there is a broad diversity of theology and practice in our tradition. In the UCC, there is no hierarchy that can impose uniformity on our churches. Each ONA congregation has independently adopted an Open and Affirming covenant after a journey of dialogue, study and prayer. There are differences between congregations, but generally, an ONA church:
