United Church of Christ (UCC) "Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life's journey, you are welcome here." The First Congregational Church of Escondido is a United Church of Christ community that is compatible with a wide variety of theological perspectives. We are an inclusive family of believers who welcome diverse lifestyles and provide hospitality and service within and beyond the walls of the church. We are a self-governing church, guided by God's unconditional love and grace, affirming the belief of the United Church of Christ that "God is still speaking." As we journey into the future, we will strive to increase our involvement in the cultural, ethnic, and generational diversity in our community. In all that we do, we will seek to embody the worship statement of the United Church of Christ: "Whoever you are, and wherever you are on life's journey, YOU are welcome here."
