We love ALL God's children without judgement because we are all made in God's image. No fine print.
Never place a period where God has placed a comma. God is still speaking,
and our minds and faith continually evolve.
We are God's hands in this world.
What God has given us we must share with others, whether it is compassion or material assistance.
Jesus didn't turn people away, even those often rejected by others. We don't intend to either. We are like a "company of strangers" made family by the grace of God in Jesus Christ. God welcomes all people. God claims all people. God loves all people.
While other churches may focus on dogma, doctrine and the "fine print", we focus on opening our hearts to ALL of God's children. If this speaks to you and if these are values you want to teach your children, then we warmly invite you to join us!
Hide yourself in God, so when a man wants to find you he will have to go there first.
What people say about Black Mountain United Church of Christ
Open and Affirming (ONA) is the United Church of Christ’s (UCC) designation for congregations, campus ministries, and other bodies in the UCC which make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
We welcome ALL God's children to be in full participation and leadership in our church, and to begin to heal the trauma they may have felt from the churches they grew up in by experiencing God's love and our love for them.

Black Mountain United Church of Christ's Journey as an Open & Affirming Congregation
There are a myriad ways in which our faith can be nurtured and deepened beyond the experience of Sunday worship. While gathering in the church is a vital part of our spiritual journey, we believe that the opportunity to grow closer to God is ever-present in our daily lives.
It wasn't easy for my husband and I to find a church home in the North Scottsdale/Cave Creek area that would welcome us as a gay couple, but the second we stepped through the doors at BMUCC, we knew we were home.
