About Us

Live a life of love, following the example of Christ. God loved us and offered Godself as a sacrifice for us.” -Ephesians 5:2

It is the mission of First Congregational Church of Ramona to LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE. It’s perhaps the most simple and difficult command Christ gave us and it is the heart of the gospel of Jesus. In all we do, it is our endeavor–together as a church family–to live a life that participates in the love and ministry of the God revealed in Jesus Christ.

FCC draws together people of various backgrounds and beliefs into a community of faith that is committed to living lives of love. Believing that all people are created in the image of God and are of sacred worth, we welcome all people into full participation in the life of our community. While valuing freedom of conscience, we are a church where it is safe to disagree with one another and still remain united in the love of God and in the fellowship of Christ’s body.

Our worship gatherings are at 8:45am and 10:00 a.m. every Sunday morning, and our Evening Prayer Gathering is every first Sunday of the month at 5:00pm. All are welcome!

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are always welcome at First Congregational Church of Ramona.

  • United Church of Christ Statement of Faith:

    • We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, who is made known to us in Jesus our brother, and to whose deeds we testify:

    • God calls the worlds into being, creates humankind in the divine image, and sets before us the ways of life and death.

    • God seeks in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

    • God judges all humanity and all nations by that will of righteousness declared through prophets and apostles.

    • In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Lord, God has come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the whole creation to its Creator.

    • God bestows upon us the Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

    • God calls us into the church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be servants in the service of the whole human family, to proclaim the gospel to all the world and resist the powers of evil, to share in Christ’s baptism and eat at his table, to join him in his passion and victory.

    • God promises to all who trust in the gospel forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, the presence of the Holy Spirit in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in that kingdom which has no end.

    • Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto God. Amen.

Belong

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you belong to God and we belong to each other. You belong — even if you don’t believe what we believe.

Believe

We are community that is learning together and deepening our faith in Jesus Christ. We desire to be open to the grace of God and transformed by the love and power of the Holy Spirit. We study the scriptures together and ask tough questions as we seek to believe the good news of God’s love.

Become

We want to be disciples of Jesus Christ! We don't want to merely believe the right things, we want to actually participate in the ministry that God is doing in the world. By participating with God and by practicing our faith, we are becoming the people God created us to be.
