The Connecticut Conference of the United Church of Christ maintains a Partnership with the Kyung-ki Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea (a Presbytery is similar in size and function to a UCC Conference). For information about this Partnership, click here. In the United Church of Christ, a Partnership is understood to be a special covenanted relationship between two church bodies for the purpose of strengthening faith and understanding and serving Jesus Christ. This Partnership has included several exchanges of delegations consisting of clergy, lay people, and youth. Visits have been made for special meetings and events, and several special youth camps have been held. At the local church level, individual churches may establish Partnerships with other local churches. A local church Partnership is a covenanted relationship between two churches. It is a commitment to build a relationship with each other, to learn about each other's culture, and to grow in faith. Partnered churches exchange information about themselves and their activities, and keep each other in prayer. They may also exchange gifts or send delegations (clergy and/or lay) to each other's church. Our partnership is with Ju Min Presbytery in Sung Nam City. Currently, we are arranging for a mission journey for members of this presbytery to our community. For a brief description of the history of our partnership with the Ju Min Presbytery, click here. Every four years (2002, 2006, 2010) the Connecticut Conference sponsors a Sacred Journey program, affording youths (Grades 9-12) the opportunity to visit their Partner churches. In 2002, Jenna Castle visited our partner church in the Kyung-Ki Province. Ï
