Who We Are

Church of The Master United Church of Christ of Florissant is an active, enthusiastic and diverse fellowship dedicated to mission and spiritual growth. We practice OPEN COMMUNION. We believe dedication to mission and spiritual growth enhances our lives and the lives of the people we touch because it focuses us outside of ourselves and gives us purpose and joy. We strive to create a community of friendships. Members have long been active in caring for the community by providing weekly get-togethers that feed the Spirit with thoughts, songs, readings, quiet time and service to the community and world. A preschool meets in our facility. Members volunteer at a number of service providers that unite people including, Unleashing Potential, St. John's Community Center, T.E.A.M. food pantry, Habitat for Humanity and more.

Church of The Master UCC was founded in 1956 - just as the United Church of Christ (UCC) was formed by the merger of two denominations - the Evangelical and Reformed Church and the Congregational Christian Church. We embrace our U.C.C. slogan God is Still Speaking, which emphasizes "No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here".

When the UCC's National Collegium in Cleveland challenged us to engage in sacred conversations about race, Church of The Master partnered with Christ the King UCC, an African American UCC congregation in Florissant. These conversations were sometimes uncomfortable, but helped us face some of racism's realities. We also co-planned an event titled, Getting to Know You, enjoyed by over 100, sharing each other’s entertainment and personal stories. The UCC has a long engagement in antiracism including the Racial Justice Ministry part of our national structure.

Mostly we are the sum of our parts. We are the fellowship groups and the groupings of people that take action to show God’s love in the world. Explore our website and let us know how we would be better than we are if you were here. Then come do it with us!
