The Great Awakening United Church of Christ

The Great Awakening United Church of Christ The Doors of the Church are open to all Including the LGBT community. Worship service starts @ 8:30am We believe that we are created by God and in God’s image.

We believe in God, the Eternal Spirit, and Creator of all that we see and all not seen, Father of our Savior Jesus Christ. We believe that God seeks relationship with all people, and that relationship is redemptive. We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God the crucified and risen Lord, he has come to us and shared revelations of the Eternal spirit our God with us, redeeming us through his life,

death and resurrection. We believe God fills us with the Holy Spirit creating and renewing the church of Jesus Christ, binding in covenant all people of faith, regardless of their diversity. We believe that believers are called into church in the unity of the Spirit to accept the cost and joy of servant-hood, to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to the entire world, and to resist evil and add to the body of Christ daily. We believe in the promises of God according to the Holy Bible:
Forgiveness of sin
Fullness of grace
Courage in the struggle for justice and peace
The Eternal presence of God

We believe in the Eternal Life in the Kingdom of God that has no end.

🌈 What an incredible day at Pride! 🌈

A heartfelt thank you to Portsmouth Pride VA for hosting such a wonderful event. We, The Great Awakening United Church of Christ are honored to be part of a day filled with love, community, celebration, and connection.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared conversations, received prayer, learned more about our church, and reminded us of the beauty of God's diverse family. We are grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside our community and share a message of hope, acceptance, and God's unconditional love.

As we celebrate Pride Month, we are reminded that God's love is for everyone. "For God so loved the world..." (John 3:16) — and that means all of us.

Thank you again, Portsmouth Pride VA, for creating a space where people can come together in authenticity, joy, and belonging. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

🌈 Happy Pride Month from The Great Awakening United Church of Christ! 🌈

At The Great Awakening UCC, we celebrate Pride Month as a reminder that every person is created in God's image, worthy of love, dignity, and belonging. Pride is about living authentically, embracing who God created you to be, and standing together in a community where everyone is welcomed and valued.

Jesus reminds us in John 3:16:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

We believe that "whosoever" means whosoever. No exceptions. No exclusions. God's love is for all people.

This month, and every month, we celebrate the beauty of diversity, the power of love, and the grace that welcomes everyone to God's table.

You are loved. You are valued. You belong.
