The 2025 UCC All Church Reads
This Year’s All Church Reads
You and your congregation are invited into a transformational ‘All Church Reads’ in 2025!
We know churches can accomplish so much more with their people and resources than the good work you already do or feel called towards. Growing into better organizers will better “put progress where your passions are” and in doing so generate thriving new life in the pews and outside your church doors.
With “Beyond Book Studies: Building Up a New World,” you will be equipped to sit with hard questions, hear stories, learn practical wisdom and skills, and absorb diverse perspectives that help achieve bold, measurable, sustained justice – whether in your church, your community, or the wider world.
Imagine the kind of world we could create if every local church became a hub of justice-making in its community. Picture a United Church of Christ that is a leader-full movement of movements making a transformative impact in every sector of society. Envision followers of Jesus in every corner of the country joining together with others in creative solidarity and deep purpose to effect life-saving change for neighbors near and far. Now, what if we told you that these weren’t just a pie-in-the sky dreams, but in fact, there is actually a book that could help you start on your journey toward making these visions a reality. That’s exactly what a diverse cadre of authors have to offer in Building Up a New World: Congregational Organizing for Transformative Impact.
