Our Mission Statement

We are called to heal the broken hearted, set the captive free [those who are enslaved in their minds] and speak truth to power, through Vibrant worship, outreach and community activisim.

Our Church's Wider Mission (OCWM) - Our Church's Wider Mission is the name we use to describe the work we do as the United Church of Christ beyond the local church-through our Conferences, national ministries, and UCC-related institutions. Our Church's Wider Mission is also the name we give to the financial support given by UCC members and congregations that makes this broader mission possible. Congregations are central to the ability of the United Church of Christ to do mission in local communities, within the United States and internationally. As a congregation works in its own community, it is a representative of the entire denomination and embodies the UCC in that place. And when a congregation determines it's giving to Our Church's Wider Mission, there is a direct impact on levels of funding for the Conference and national ministries. Every local congregation, including Imani Community UCC, has a responsibility to be aware of opportunities for local mission and to be knowledgeable about the work underway by its own conference and by the national ministries. Imani Community UCC is an active supporter of OCWM.

"He will answer them, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you failed to do one of these things to someone who was being overlooked or ignored, that was me—you failed to do it to me.' Matthew 25:45
