We're worth our words No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here, and we really mean it. For over 161 years, Community United Church of Christ has served Champaign-Urbana and shined God’s light for all to see. We are a Just-Peace, LGBTQ Open & Affirming, Theologically Progressive Congregation of The United Church of Christ, located in the heart of the the University of Illinois. We are worth our words. We are young and old, gay and straight and in between. We are single and partnered, happy and sad, confused and inspired. We are street smart and college-educated, town and gown, students and residents. Some of us can’t pay our bills and others have more than enough to share. We are God’s people. We are the Body of Christ.
