1 Church 3 Roots

We are the coming together of three diverse faith community. We chose to form a new church with three roots Fremont Congregational Church (FCC), Filipino-American Evangelical Church (FAE), and Vine Moni Samoan Church! 3 ethnically and culturally distinct groups united together in September 2018 form a new multi-ethnic, multi-cultural church. We are trying to embody that prayer Jesus prayed over his disciples:

“I ask not only on behalf of these but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Creator, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” John 17:20-21

That they may all be one, that they may all be united as one. That we may be united.

What We Believe

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here! We practice the radical hospitality and inclusive love demonstrated by Jesus. As an “Open and Affirming” community, we affirm that people of every age, race, gender identities and expressions, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental ability, economic status and family structure are equally loved and embraced by God.

United Church of Christ Statement of Faith

We believe in you, O God, Eternal Spirit, God of our Savior Jesus Christ and our God, and to your deeds we testify:

You call the worlds into being, create persons in your own image, and set before each one the ways of life and death.

You seek in holy love to save all people from aimlessness and sin.

You judge people and nations by your righteous will declared through prophets and apostles.

In Jesus Christ, the man of Nazareth, our crucified and risen Savior, you have come to us and shared our common lot, conquering sin and death and reconciling the world to yourself.

You bestow upon us your Holy Spirit, creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant faithful people of all ages, tongues, and races.

You call us into your church to accept the cost and joy of discipleship, to be your servants in the service of others, 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.

You promise to all who trust you forgiveness of sins and fullness of grace, courage in the struggle for justice and peace, your presence in trial and rejoicing, and eternal life in your realm which has no end.

Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto you. Amen.

The United Church of Christ has been the church of firsts, weaving God’s message of hope and extravagant welcome with action for justice and peace. We are a church where Jesus the healer meets Jesus the revolutionary, and where together, we grow a just and peaceful world.

Our history is filled with ways our faith and call for justice have effected change in our communities, and our response to the demands of our faith is woven into the history of our country.
