About DUCC

DUCC sees itself as a “come as you are” place which offers intellectual, emotional, and social comfort for persons who want to stretch “inside and out.”

We encourage spiritual and social growth through embracing and celebrating a wide diversity of beliefs; lifestyles (including gay and straight); and racial, ethnic, and cultural traditions.

We are a vital, vibrant, and growing community where seekers and believers together explore new horizons of progressive spirituality and interdependent creation-affirming values.

Together we learn and intentionally pursue new ways of living out a variety of creative partnerships and coalitions that promote human rights, peace, and justice for all persons.
