We are told that Jesus came in the fullness of grace and truth, and at UBC, our goal is to live in His example. And so, we stand in the truth that God has revealed and embody the love that God has demonstrated. We don’t excuse sin, but neither do we isolate sinners – because we are all sinners. Nobody at Uxbridge Baptist Church is perfect but we do believe that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ we are forgiven and redeemed.

“[Jesus] himself bore our sins ‘in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;’ by his wounds you have been healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)

And if we are not perfect, why would we expect you to be? And yet, we do believe that the Bible is God’s Word and therefore has ultimate authority over truth and life. God created life and invites us into a relationship to experience the fullness of what He designed life to be – to experience the fullness of who He is. This is only possible through the abiding love of Jesus Christ. And so, although we will never be perfect, we do strive to be perfect reflections of Jesus Christ.

“I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:12b-14).

And so, we invite you to come with your doubts and your questions, your struggles, and your hurts. Because at UBC, wherever you are, wherever you’ve have been, You are loved and you are welcome!
