Saving Jesus

Have you ever felt like Jesus has been kidnapped by the Christian Right and discarded by the Secular Left? We are beginning the new video/discussion series, Saving Jesus, a 12-episode video exploration of a credible Jesus for the 21st Century. Join over two dozen theologians and scholars for a conversation around the relevance of Jesus for today. Check out our Facebook page for details about our next session. All are invited!

Our Pastors and Leadership

A belief in egalitarian leadership leads to active lay ownership of all programs. We govern by small leadership teams and work groups, using consensus whenever possible. We are committed to integrating holistic spiritual practices, positive personal and corporate affirmations, and honest creative feedback in our work together.

We have established Passion Groups, which consist of members and friends working toward common goals to help DUCC and its ministries grow. Current Passion Groups include Worship and the Arts, and Service and Action.

Our Leaders

  • The Congregation, Ministers
  • Diane Brandt, Licensed Lay Pastor
  • Irving Perez, Licensed Lay Pastor
  • Adam Barkafski, Moderator
  • Don Allan, Treasurer
  • Peggy Allan, Secretary
  • Barry Hammacher and Krista Johnson, Pastoral Relations

If you are in the south central Pennsylvania area, we invite you to attend one of our services in Lancaster, PA. We are a progressive Christian community affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC) and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
