TESTIMONIALS
My spouse, Linda, and I lived in Pullman for six years without ever hearing about CCUCC. We moved to Genesee, Idaho in 1993, and in 2000, some friends who were members of the church asked us to participate in their commitment ceremony. We knew this was our church! It felt like home when we walked through the front doors. CCUCC voted to become Open and Affirming which means they made a public covenant of welcome to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. We were sold!

The first service I attended, the pastor read from translations of the Bible, Torah, Quran, Baha'i scriptures, Native American wisdom, and the Golden Rule. It opened my eyes to what inclusivity in a church actually means. I realized that this was a place I could belong.

I recently moved to Pullman and CCUCC has provided me a loving and progressive faith community like the one where I grew up. They not only talk about how we should treat each other, but also put those words into action with their activist work. I’m happy to be a part of this community and I'm always glad to find myself at CCUCC on Sunday mornings.
Daniel, Pullman
Janet and I were attracted to CCUCC by its theology rooted in compassion, justice and peace.
We especially value how the congregation lives out this theology through outstanding worship and music, membership care, and ministry in the community and beyond. We would like to extend a warm welcome to WSU students and invite them to join us in this journey of faith.”
Walt, Pullman
We belong to [Pullman] CCUCC because we found the congregation to be kind, friendly, and caring people who are committed to inclusion and social justice. Our pastor is thoughtful and inspiring, encouraging us each to follow our own spiritual path. We have definitely found a church home that supports us in our spiritual and intellectual growth.
Mike & Susan, Pullman
It is important to us to belong to a church where all are welcome, without having to accept a particular belief system or adhere to a strict dogma.
Marion & David, Pullman
We belong to CCUCC because it organizes anti-racist marches and events; hosts homeless families on a monthly basis; performs same sex marriages and marches in the Pride parade; donates its Sunday offerings to local groups that help the poor, the hungry and the oppressed; cleans up a section of Highway 195; and makes itself seen and heard in the constant struggle for social and environmental justice.
Beth & Bill, Pullman
At CCUCC, I love belonging to a lively community of friendly, committed and interesting people. I hear sermons with inspiring insights from progressive theology. I am drawn into worship with a wide variety of music. Most of all, this is a place to act on what I believe, that together we can make a positive difference in our society through social justice work based on Jesus' teaching.
Mary, Pullman
I've been passionate about the Community Congregational United Church of Christ in Pullman for years because I find hope, friendship and life-long learning here. I enjoy the Sunday worship hour because we have talented ministers, friendly social times and very professional musicians. It's fun to work with energized people from all walks of life on social justice, outreach and environmental activities that matter.

Meet Gary Jewell, our interim minister. He will preach on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and be available for pastoral care Thursdays-Saturdays.
Pastor Gary describes his theology for self and ministry as focused on justice and peace.
“Concerns for justice (right relationship) and peace (thriving in harmony) are core to my biblical understanding and to the values of the Gospel….I boil my concerns to three basic themes or lens….meaning, mortality and mystery.”
