As pastor of Huff's Union Church, we welcome
you to our congregational family. Huff's Union
Church is a welcoming and exciting place to be!
In 2000, two separate congregations, Huff's
Evangelical Lutheran Church and Huff's United
Church of Christ, who had worshipped in the
same building for many years, began living as one
-- a shared ministry congregation. In 2001, I began
ministry with this church family. Having grown up
and studied for ministry as a Lutheran, and having
worked for and been ordained in the United
Church of Christ, I felt I had finally come home
when I began to serve at Huff's. Here one finds
the best of both traditions of the Reformation,
with a willingness to look at the future and
adapt to it.

Of course, as a Reformation heritage church, the
Word of God as revealed in the Scriptures is very
important to us. We value our worship, as the time
we set aside each week to be changed by our
encounter with God. Worship encompasses all our
emotions, and all our senses. Worship is not a time
to sit back, but requires us to get involved with God
and with our neighbors. Worship informs and
empowers us for life in the world.

Christian education for all ages is important to us. In
addition to Sunday School and Vacation Bible School
for all ages, we have Confirmation classes for those
youth ready to confirm their baptismal vows. An adult
study group meets to learn about specific topics,
usually coming together for four week study modules
in the late spring and in the fall.
Huff's Union Church wants to reach out in Christ's
name. We actively participate in numerous area
mission projects, and support an outreach project in
Kentucky. Our youth group plans a mission trip once
every two years to help those in need. We want to
welcome new people into Huff's and introduce them to
and further their relationship with Jesus Christ. We
seek to help people set priorities in their lives, and
teach them the joy of giving from the wide range of
talents God has given to us. We practice praying for
one another through a prayer partner group, and for
the needs of others through our prayer chain.
We encourage you to join us for worship, learning and
fellowship.
In Christian Love,
Rev Ms Jane Moffat Kropa
