We are a progressive church that wants to get the word out that God has called us to be a special community in southeast Jackson County.
Southwood UCC is an Open & Affirming congregation, which means that we not only welcome those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender, but that we celebrate them as children of God just as they are. Come experience true welcome.
Many of us are familiar with church environments where they tell you exactly what to believe, where everything is black and white and you don’t need to think at all. Southwood is not that church! Life and faith are filled with all kinds of questions and no faith tradition has proven answers. We offer a community in which we can explore life’s questions together and live out answers that bring more love, life, peace and justice to all of God’s creation.
