Love of Neighbor
The Love of Neighbor Ministry (LON) encourages and supports local churches, Associations, Conferences, and the national expressions of the United Church of Christ to participate in the global, multiracial, multicultural church and to support United Church of Christ ministries around the world and the nation.
LON assists the Church in all its expressions, provides support for the Church’s ministry of service, and provides public witness on behalf of the policies and resolutions of the General Synod.
Global Ministries is the shared world mission board of the UCC and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Established in 1996, it represents a step toward the Christian unity we proclaim through global partnerships, the presence of mission co-workers, insightful perspectives on the world, advocacy for justice, and prayers for peace.

Joining with partners will help you leverage resources and maximize expertise. LON works in interactive partnership with local churches, Associations, Conferences, national expressions of the United Church of Christ, and ecumenical and interfaith groups and community organizations.
