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,
