what we do
Our Mission
United in Spirit and inspired by God’s grace, we welcome all, love all, and seek justice for all.
Our Children
There is nothing more Christ-like than to center children in our worship and our congregational life. The children of Ripley have their own portion of each Sunday service, where they sing, hear lessons, and play rhythm instruments. We also offer a stipend to youth from the community who want to perform at Ripley, in order to better support their talent and let them know they are a priority.
Community Engagement
Our church extends its warmth and commitment to community by hosting weekly quilting sessions (pictured above) and a weekly recovery group, participating in community festivals, contributing to the local food bank and other charities, and opening our doors to community events like open mics and regional songwriters.
Missions
From supporting our local food bank to supplying chaplains overseas, our Missions team is devoted to spreading God’s love by serving ‘the least of these.’ Contact us for Mission opportunities.

God Values You. So Do We.
In the United Church of Christ, we are fond of saying, ‘No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.’ At Ripley UCC, we embrace this slogan through a welcoming and inclusive theology, made real by our message from the pulpit, by our welcome in the pews, and by concrete outreach and service to the many diverse people we call ‘community.’
