Our History
Original Sanctuary
The United Church of Marco Island began in 1968 and has been a thriving and exciting place of worship ever since! We strive to be a beacon of light, and a place where people can find hope and healing. Whether you are here for a few months or you call this place home year round, we have a place for you here! We can't wait to meet you!
Statement of Faith
The United Church of Marco Island is more than a denomination or set of beliefs but we are not less than this. What this means is that, although we do have a history that is bound to certain denominational/congregational families of faith, we believe that in the essentials of the faith we will be unwavering while in the non-essentials of the faith we will be charitable.
If you have questions about any of our statements of faith or practice, we encourage you to talk with our pastor.
Who We Are
United Church of Marco Island is a vibrant gathering of people who are committed to celebrating God’s presence and serving all people. At the United Church of Marco Island you will find folks who realize we are in need of a Savior, understand that this Savior is Jesus, and seek to know Him through His Word all while sharing His love through acts of service to our local community and beyond. When you meet us you will know that you have found a community of faith that values and appreciates you where you are in your own journey. Let us grow in faith together.
Whether you are visiting Marco Island briefly or consider it your home for most of the year, please join us for an impactful worship experience.

We Can't Wait to Meet You!
Traditionally, the Congregational way is "a tradition that has deep convictions based upon the Word of God as each person interprets that Word according to the dictates of conscience, under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This naturally attracts men and women of genuine conviction, of adventurous faith, and of gracious regard for each other’s sincerity to the Congregational Christian fellowship."
Furthermore, "we are a diverse group of people united under Christ. We believe there is strength in diversity and by it, there are unending opportunities to learn from each other and to grow in faith.
Christ alone is the head of the church
All church members are spiritually equal and called to the work of ministry
Every local church is autonomous and complete
Each local church is called into wider associations of fellowship
Believers are bound to one another in voluntary covenant
Every Christian possesses full liberty of conscience in interpreting the Gospel
The Bible is fully sufficient as our guide in matters of faith and practice and will inspire individuals and direct the church with fresh light and truth for every generation"
