The goal of strategic planning is to discover who God is calling our church to be and create a roadmap that will get us there.

We started with the life and teachings of Jesus.

Great Commandment
love God and love people

Great Commission
make disciples by teaching them everything I have taught you

We synthesized these gospel priorities into a purpose for our church.

UCC Medfield exists to Love Like Jesus.

We returned to the teachings of Jesus to discovered how to live out this purpose.

Worship God

We align our deepest instincts to God's
​character and kingdom​.

Build Community

We form connections,
reconcile relationships,
and do life together.

Pursue Justice

We restore communities,
​reform systems, and bring
freedom ​to the oppressed.

Seek Truth

We deepen our understanding of God and christian living.

We translated these essential elements of Christian living into ministry areas.

MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE WORK

We’re a mix of women and men. We’re in our 60s, we're in our 20s, and every age in between.
We think conservatively, we think progressively, we span the ideological spectrum. We’re brand new to the UCC Medfield family and we’ve been part of the family for decades. We represent you.

The last twelve months have offered our church a moment to gain clarity on who we are and who God is calling us to become.
