Our Roots:

Portsmouth United, as the church came to be known, is an inclusive, multiracial and multicultural congregation of the United Church of Christ seeking to embrace and empower all people in the love and peace of God through Jesus Christ. It was officially organized in December of 1958 and moved into the new building the following summer. A few years later First Christian from downtown Portsmouth, sold their property and merged with them to form one church. Portsmouth United heartily welcomes it’s members, prospective members and visitors. We’re located at 5900 Portsmouth Blvd. in Portsmouth, Virginia.

In our worship, we are an inclusive community, a family of faith, which through prayer, song, the sacraments and liturgy seeks to feel closer to God, to praise God, to give thanks to God, and to seek forgiveness from God in order to grow in discipleship.

In our Christian Education, we seek to develop a community of people with a mature Christian faith; meaning a faith which leads us to care for others, that opens our hearts to service, an evolving faith that is the product of critical thinking and questioning.  Our education is for all ages and is conducted in places inside the church and out.

In our missions, we seek to share the excitement of our Christian faith without judging others.  In our missions, we seek to take our faith and beliefs from the inside out, and know that our missions require that we must also bring the outside in.  We take Christ's admonition-to go forth and share the good news-as our own, which we strive to do in word and deed both locally and globally.

You are welcome to visit and join our church family
