ALL CHURCH SERVICES ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Due to the Coronavirus, ALL church services, meetings, and activities are canceled until further notice. Stay home and stay safe.

We hope you'll join us each Sunday at 10 AM for VIRTUAL Sunday Services.

These virtual Sunday services will be broadcast here under "Sunday Messages and Music," and they can also be viewed on our church's Facebook page and YouTube channel. Watch each week for an inspiring message from Pastor Sal and uplifting music from Peter Black and our special musicians.

During this time, it's important for us to remember that the church is not a building. It's the people. Although we are separated physically right now, we remain connected to one another in love and spirit.

We were voted
“Best Place to Worship”

Douglas Congregational United Church of Christ was recently voted “Best Place to Worship” in the Holland Sentinel’s annual readers’ poll. Rev. Salvatore Sapienza, pastor of Douglas UCC, said, “I am delighted that this recognition will bring attention to the fact that there is a progressive and radically inclusive Christian church in West Michigan which welcomes and celebrates people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.” The membership at Douglas UCC has quadrupled in size since the church called Rev. Sapienza as pastor in 2014. There are over 5,000 UCC churches in the United States with more than a million members. The denomination places high emphasis on social justice, worldwide interfaith and ecumenical efforts, and has historically favored progressive views on social issues, such as civil, gay, and women's rights.
