2. Are you a branch of UCCMA?
|
NO. We are NOT a branch NOR an associate church of the United Christian Church & Ministerial Association. We are an independent, non-affiliated church. We are not associated with nor subject to any other religious organization. Our Pastors are ordained by UCCMA. Our founder contacted Rev. H. Richard Hall (the founder on UCCMA) and received permission to use the "United Christian Church" name. However, that is as far as the connection goes. We are a standalone, self-governing church with our own regulations, procedures and authority.

5. How should i dress to come to church?
A mixture of attire
|
Dress how you are comfortable. If you like to dress up, then dress up. If you prefer to dress casual, then come casual. Your clothes don't consern us, your soul does. Come as you are and worship.
|
6. what version of the bible do you use?
|
We consider the King James Version to be the authoritative version of the Bible. We use the KJV as our primary resource for the Word of God. However, sometimes we will reference other versions for their understandability. We encourage people to use the version they are most comfortable with. You will find that comparing different versions of the Bible will give you greater insight and understanding of the meaning and intention behind a given passage.
