I have lived in Iowa, Wisconsin, New York and Indiana. No matter where I have lived, Ripley has always been my Church. Coming home to Ripley for service has always warmed my heart. Technology has now allowed me to "come home" to Ripley on a regular basis. Being a part of Ripley's future has brought me closer to my faith and to those that make up the Ripley Family. In my 54 years as a member, I am able to personally be involved in all the ways Ripley is reaching out to our community and to those in need. It is wonderful to be "home" at Ripley, whether in town or in another state.

As a member of Ripley UCC I enjoy the friendliness of those who attend services and participate in our outreach missions. Being a part of Ripley's mission work is very satisfying and I am very glad to be a part of our missions. My husband and I truly appreciate our Bridge Minister Jim Coppoc.

I enjoy fellowship with those attending church. Every week, I feel that my life is complete, for the week has started with my attending Sunday morning service at Ripley UCC.

Always welcoming - friendliness. Ripley UCC feels like home!

Ripley has been my church for over 80 years. My grandmother, my parents, and so many aunts and uncles have attended Ripley UCC over the years. I have enjoyed our ministers throughout the years and I have the feeling of being at home with Ripley UCC. I have appreciated the opportunity to have served the Ripley family on most every board &/or committee. I am blessed to be involved in the mission of making quilts for those in need in our community.

I so love the history of Ripley UCC as I was baptized, confirmed, and married in this church. Ripley has served our family as our children were also baptized and confirmed in the church. Many family members have been laid to rest with services provided by the ministers of Ripley UCC.
