What is a church that does not submit to the Word of God?
Because...the UCC was one of the first denominations that willfully embraced the homosexual agenda and branded itself as “welcoming” and “inclusive” to every Pagan ideologue that came down the pike. All the little UCC churches in my neck of the woods were suffering extremely small, aging (dying) congregations (25 or less) with sizeable brick & mortar churches that this small group couldn’t afford to maintain. These were easy targets for a homosexual activists to take over. It started with installing a gay pastor (primarily females) who preached a “gospel” of “Welcoming Acceptance” that included deleting icons of Christ on the cross and put a rainbow flag in its place. It’s amazing how quickly the destruction of these small churches of elderly congregants were proselytized to believe it was the inerrant Will of God to go down this path. The UCC was one of the first in a long line of denominational destruction - Episcopal, Lutheran, and Methodists soon followed. Now the rot has taken over the Roman Catholic church, spearheaded by the apostate Pope Francis. It’s the classic idea of “If you can’t beat them - Join them” and destroy them from the inside.
