Our Values, Vision, and Mission:
We are Open and Affirming
"St. Croix United Church is an open and affirming Christian community, which is faithfully committed to ministries of compassion, diversity, equity, and social justice. United by the grace, love, and forgiveness we know in Jesus Christ, we honor the sacredness of relationships with our neighbors. We welcome persons of every gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, physical ability, mental health status, and socio-economic condition into the full life and ministry of the church. By embracing our diversity, we learn and grow into a stronger community."
Our Dual Affiliation
St. Croix United Church launched in October 2023 as a congregation dually affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches (NACCC). To learn about our history, rooted in People's Congregational Church (Bayport) and St. Peter's United Church of Christ (Stillwater), click here.
