ABOUT OUR CHURCH

Established in 1963, Venice United Church of Christ is a Christian Fellowship of faith, building a community that supports each other to help feed the hungry, to clothe the naked and welcome strangers, while living a life that leads to deeper experiences walking humbly with God.

We are an Open and Affirming congregation committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and compassionate community where all people are embraced, respected, and celebrated as beloved children of God.
We honor the beautiful diversity of God’s creation and welcome individuals of every race, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, economic circumstance, marital status, and faith background. We believe that our differences enrich our community and that every person brings unique gifts, experiences, and perspectives to our shared journey of faith. No matter who you are, where you come from, or where you find yourself on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
Rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the traditions of the United Church of Christ, we seek to live our faith through love, kindness, justice, service, and compassion. We welcome people from a wide variety of Christian traditions, as well as those who are exploring their faith, asking questions, or seeking a deeper spiritual connection.
At Venice United Church of Christ, we believe faith is a journey best traveled together. We encourage thoughtful questions, spiritual growth, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to make a positive difference in our community and beyond.
We strive to be a church where faith inspires hope, love leads to action, and everyone has a seat at God’s table.
