Church Of Peace Open and Affirming Church Services

Church of Peace Open and Affirming Covenant

We, the people of the Church of Peace United Church of Christ in Rock Island, Illinois, seek to be a community of Christians who celebrate and live in openness to the still-speaking God.  We gather at the corner of 12th Street and 12th Avenue where we value our history and envision our future.  As an Open and Affirming congregation, we recognize that all people are created equally in God’s image and all are beloved as God’s children.  As we seek to offer an ever-widening welcome, we invite into our family all people, including persons of any age, race, national origin, faith background, marital status and family structure, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, mental and physical ability, economic and social status, and educational background.  Jesus teaches us to welcome all God’s children.  However the rest of the world describes you, and however you describe yourself, you will be welcomed and celebrated at Church of Peace.

We invite you to join us on Sundays at 10:30 am. Here, you are loved and valued exactly as God made you. That means anyone in the LGBTQ+ community will be cherished and safe here. 

God Bless you all

Rev. Tyler Yost
