Churches that are involved in Unidos en Cristo come from many Christian denominations. Unity is achieved by focusing the entire weekend on the teachings and passion of Jesus Christ. UEC does not attempt to change anyone's chosen theology, but holds to the major tenets of the Christian faith.

The focus at a UEC weekend is not on the organization of UEC, but on the teachings of Christ and applying those teachings to involvement in the local church.

Mission Statement

"To revive and strengthen Christian commitment and
community in the local church."

Faith Statement

"Unidos en Cristo is an inter-denominational and lay led
community whose purpose is to help persons
deepen a personal living faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

The UEC community emphasizes the essentials of our Christian faith,
which include the triune nature of God,
the absolute authority of the Word of God,
the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus,
and our common adoption into the body of Christ.

UEC equips Christian servants for action through
a practical and personal demonstration of God's grace and by
encouraging the extension of this grace
to the local church and community.

We believe a living faith in Jesus Christ and Christian action
will change our world."

 

The Mission and Faith Statements were adopted by the UEC Council on May 22, 2007.

 

UEC draws people from various places in the process of Christian growth. Some come and meet Christ for the first time. Others have already established their faith in Christ but leave the UEC weekend with a deeper faith and with practical tools for keeping their relationship with Christ alive in their everyday lives. Some renew faith that has gone dormant for some time in their lives. And some hear profound callings from God about the directions they should go as they respond to the teachings and experiences of the UEC weekend.

Perhaps the most important thing that is often realized at a UEC weekend is that we, as Christians, are not alone. We are in this life together to help each other, strengthen each other and be God's living grace to each other.
