Bristol United Church welcomes you, whatever your origins, whatever your religious background or absence of one: whatever your lifestyle. Whether you are affluent or struggling; educated or lacking in schooling; handicapped or high functioning. Whether you feel privileged or denied, joyful or grieving, we are here for you.

We want you to know that we hold women and men in equal dignity; that we value young and old alike. And we believe that we can achieve community without uniformity of beliefs, either as a creed or as conformity of thought.

Our ideal is individual freedom in a responsive and responsible faith community, guided by the example of Jesus Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit. By God's grace, we use our minds to seek the truth, and have generous tolerance for those whom God has guided in different directions and with whom we disagree. We try never to place a period where God has placed a comma, God is still speaking.

If this seems different from other churches you have experienced or heard about, it's because we are. We invite you to join us on a spiritual journey. WELCOME!
