The members of the United Parish of Upton (UCC/UMC), believe all people are created in God’s image and that Jesus commanded us to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12).  We affirm that each individual is a child of God and that together we are called to become one body with many members and many different gifts.

As an Open and Affirming/Reconciling congregation, we embrace and welcome persons of every age, race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital status, family structure, physical or mental ability or disability, educational background or socio-economic status into the full life of the church.  We invite all to find a spiritual home in the United Parish of Upton and to share in the leadership, ministry, fellowship, worship, sacraments, responsibilities, and blessings of participation in our congregation.
