ABOUT OUR CHURCH
This is community of not-so-perfect people who come together as a church to do worship, serve and car for our local community and the world.
Who We Are.
As the first Congregational church in the Dakota Territory, we celebrate and honor our history, but never take our eyes off God’s vision for the future and our commitment to mission and ministry in the present.
Now a part of the United Church of Christ, we call ourselves the United Church of Christ (Congregational) and work hard to serve an ever-changing society, here at home and around the world.
Come As You Are.
Come as you are, to the Yankton United Church of Christ (Congregational). All are truly welcome.
We are an Open and Affirming church, accepting of different beliefs, willing to share in discussion, and we enjoy each other’s company as we do so.
We strive to provide opportunities for seekers of all ages, to strengthen their faith and expand their knowledge of God through Bible studies, group discussion, self-reflection, excellent worship and preaching, and our walk with each other as we discover God’s plan for us and for our ministry.
