minister appealed the decision to the Appellant Committee of

This brought to everyone's attention the subordinate position of

Annual Conference, declared the matter closed, and reinstated Official website uccpchurch

As a result, a group led by Samuel Stagg, pastor of the
influential Central Church (now Central United Methodist
Church on T.M. Kalaw), and including five other missionaries and 27 ordained Filipino ministers led by
Cipriano Navarro and Melquiades Gamboa, a U.P. professor, left the church and declared themselves the
General Conference of the Methodist Church in the Philippine Islands (GCMCPI). All but 41 members of
Central Church left their newly dedicated gothic cathedral. This group formed the Philippine Methodist
Church, with Navarro as bishop. The church financially supported the Staggs and the other missionaries
who joined it. Stagg and his former members formed the Cosmopolitan Church, which became the leading
congregation of the new denomination. The independent GCMCPI elected Navarro as acting General
Superintendent. In 1948 the Philippine Methodist Church was a constituent part of the formation of the
United Church of Christ in the Philippines.

The Evangelical Church in the Philippines

The Evangelical Church in the Philippines was formed in 1943 under the direction of the Japanese Imperial
Forces. It brought together the United Evangelical Church; the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ
(Disciples of Christ); the Iglesia Evangelica Unida de Cristo; the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista en las Islas
Filipinas (IEMELIF) founded by Bishop Nicholas Zamora; the Iglesia Evangelica Nacional; the Philippine
Methodist Church; some Seventh-day Adventists and other churches. It was the first union of churches
under full Filipino leadership.

After World War II, former Presbyterians and Congregationalists reconstituted the United Evangelical
Church. On the other hand, the former United Brethren in Christ, together with the Church of Christ
(Disciples of Christ) and the independent congregations remained as the Evangelical Church in the
Philippines. Because the Seventh-day Adventists were forced by the war to join the merger, they
immediately left the Evangelical Church of the Philippines after the war.[10]

The United Church of Christ in the Philippines

In May 1948, the United Evangelical Church, the Philippine

Methodist Church, the Evangelical Church of the Philippines, some
congregations of the Iglesia Evangelica Unida de Cristo, the
Convention of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of
Northern Luzon, the Iglesia Evangelica Nacional, and some
congregations of the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista En Las Islas
Filipinas (IEMELIF) joined together to form the United Church of
Christ in the Philippines. Enrique Sobrepena of the United
Evangelical Church served both as Bishop for Luzon and as
United Church of Christ in the
Presiding Bishop.
Philippines (Batangas City).
This was the real culmination of the efforts of the Evangelical
Union established by missionaries on April 26, 1901, to seek the
evangelization of the Philippines through a common effort. In spite of the refusal of the United Methodist,
Baptist and other independent evangelical churches, the UCCP was known to be the most visible sign of
interdenominational and church unity in the Philippines.[10]

In 1962, the conservative Tagalog Convention of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) decided to join
the union of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines. It was proclaimed in an appropriate ceremonies
at the General Assembly held in Cebu City. In 1998, Nelinda Primavera–Briones was the first woman
elected as bishop of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines.

Faith and practice

The United Church of Christ in the Philippines is trinitarian and believes in the deity, humanity, and
atonement of Jesus. It believes that the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of
God and that salvation is by grace through faith, repentance and following after Christ. The United Church
of Christ in the Philippines view the Christian life as one of personal faith and of serious dedication to
living according to the highest Christian precepts. Each person is thus to be born again, converted into a
new life, and gathered into the church community. For them, the church is essentially the result of
conversion and of grace, a gathered community of committed believers. It is not the mother of Christian
experience or the source (rather than the effect) of grace, as in the Roman Catholic tradition. The church is,
therefore, holy only because the faith and life of its people are holy.

The UCCP traces its roots in the Protestant Reformation, when Martin Luther, John Calvin and others led
the movement to reform the Christianity. This is often expressed in the "Five Solas"—God's grace alone as
the only way to be reconciled to God, faith alone as the only means of receiving God's grace, Christ alone
as the ground of God's saving grace, Scripture alone as the only infallible authority for belief, and God's
glory alone as the ultimate purpose for the lives of men and women.

The following distinguish the UCCP from other communions:

Their concern for freedom of speech and conscience and for freedom from interference by
any civil or ecclesiastical authority
The primacy they give to Scripture in matters of faith, doctrine, and morals
The authority they give to the congregation in church affairs
Their concern for establishing social justice in political, social and economic life and
Their active involvement and commitment to interdenominational activity as a protest against
denominational exclusiveness.[11]

Sacraments

The church believes that there are two sacraments only: baptism and The Lord's Supper. The church takes a
neutral position on the observance of feet washing, taking into consideration the various traditions brought
in by the uniting churches. The 1948: Article III Historic Faith and Message states, " We do preserve all the
heritage of faith brought into the union by each of the constituent churches and hereby declare as our
common faith and message: 'Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, our Lord and Saviour.'[12]"

Baptism

The UCCP defines baptism as a sacrament of initiation into the church.[13] They believe that baptism is not
a means of salvation but a first step of obedience for the new believer. The church permits both believer's
baptism and infant baptism. Infant baptism is administered only to infant children of church members as a
sign of God's covenant of mercy. In recent times, infant baptism has given way to infant Pághahandóg
(Filipino, “dedication“) ceremonies, thus reserving baptism for the time when the child can make a
conscious decision to follow Christ. The church also recognises and accepts baptisms held in other
Christian churches.[13]

Disciples understood that baptism is a confessional expression of faith and repentance, rather than a "work"
that earns salvation. Thus, they insisted that believer's baptism is necessary part of conversion and
necessary for its validity. Local churches in the Tagalog and Ilocano regions established by their
missionaries practice only baptism by immersion for adult initiates.

Lord's Supper

The Church believes in the symbolic presence[14] of Jesus in the Lord's Supper (Filipino: Santa Cena,
Banál na Hapunan, both meaning “Holy Supper”). They believe that it was given by Jesus Christ[15] to his
church as a way of remembering and proclaiming the sacrifice He made on the cross. It is a sacrament that
contains an element of remembering and proclaiming Christ's death while at the same time looking forward
to the time when they will enjoy communion with Christ in heaven.[15] It involves solemn and serious self-
examination. This includes confession of sin and repentance. Communion for them should not be received
in a flippant or careless manner.It is the joyful feast of the Lord, hence, it is a celebration.

Each UCCP congregation is required to celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper once a month. In
most local churches, communion is served in the first Sunday of the month. The observance of the Rite of
the Last Supper of our Lord with His disciples is done every Maundy Thursday.[15] Since the Disciples of
Christ custom is to have the Lord's Supper central to every worship service, the sacrament is administered
every Lord's Day.

Contemporary issues

The Church believes that every man or woman should be accepted and treated with dignity, grace, and holy
love, whatever their sexual orientation (biological sex of person attracted to). In 2014, the denomination
voted to adopt a policy that "means that LGBTs should not be discriminated but should be unconditionally
accepted...[and] Bishop Marigza confirms the openness to ordain openly gay and lesbian church
workers."[16] In 2016, the Iloilo Ekklesia congregation in Mandurriao, Iloilo City, held the Church’s first
LGBT-themed worship service.[17]

The Church has also allowed the ordination of women with full rights of clergy based on biblical
principle:[18] "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and
female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." The UCCP, along with some other evangelical Churches,
holds that when the historical contexts involved are understood, a coherent Biblical argument can be made
in favor of women's ordination.

Worship services
UCCP local churches typically have worship services three times a week: Sunday morning, Sunday
evening, and Wednesday evening. Each local congregation has a great deal of freedom in the style and
ordering of worship, and therefore services vary among different churches. The order may be very
traditional and highly liturgical, or it may be very simple and informal.

Music plays a large role in most UCCP worship services, and ranges from chant to traditional Protestant
hymns, to classical sacred music, to more modern music, depending on the preference of the local church.
Scripture is read and usually preached upon, and an offering is usually collected. Services are often focused
toward a time of prayer and commitment at the end of the sermon. Over the last ten years, an increasing
number of UCCP churches have utilized contemporary worship services as their worship style. This may
involve the use of a projector to display song, drums and electronic piano, clapping of hands, tambourine
dance and raising of hands. More traditional UCCP churches use hymnals and may have a song leader or
music director who directs congregational singing from the pulpit.

Mission, evangelism, and social concern

The United Church of Christ in the Philippines has, historically, been a leading Protestant denomination in
mission work. A vital part of the world mission emphasis of the denomination is building and maintaining
relationships with Evangelical, Protestant and other churches around the world. Connection between
evangelism and social concern was maintained by the UCCP. In 1952, the UCCP established the UCCP
National Federation of Credit Unions to aid farmers. They also issued a Resolution Condemning Gambling
and Liquor. Sobrepena approved, a relationship between the UCCP and the Orient Crusades (OC)
International - Philippine Crusades. OC entered the Philippines agreeing to work in cooperation with
UCCP leaders, to prepare converts for membership in the UCCP, and to avoid controversial doctrinal
issues. They focused on mass evangelism and witness to students, and used film showings such as King of
Kings to make contacts. Interested seekers availed of Bible correspondence courses. Sobrepena held mass
evangelistic campaigns—notably in Laoag in November 1955, with the OC cooperation.

In 1973 to 1986, local churches allowed American missionaries from the Youth With A Mission to
reorganize Sunday Schools and set up Sunday school programs.[19] This international, interdenominational
Christian missionary organization also promoted Christian movies in secular theaters throughout the
archipelago. Many Filipinos from this time are in full-time Christian service today or are productive
Christians. In addition, a number of indigenous churches were established among squatter communities in
Metro Manila, in Baguio and villages in the Cordilleras.[20] Then the Philippine Campus Crusade for
Christ, also an international interdenominational movement came in and started the evangelistic movement
in the church that started the increase in church attendance and membership.[19]

Some local churches, joined international fellowship such as the Covenant Global Church.[21] Other
churches involved themselves into the Evangelism Explosion, a ministry that trains people how to share
their faith in Christ.
