Veritas is an ancient Latin term meaning "Truth". Veritas Church is a new church in Hagerstown, MD started on the belief that there is a truth that many churches are missing. Some Christians preach love, tolerance and grace, but practice judgment, alienation and exclusion. A recent study of young people ages 16-29 showed that they believe Christians are hypocritical, judgemental, too political and homophobic. Is that really the message the Church wants to give? Do we want the world to see us as judgmental hypocrites who hate gays and love running everyone else's life? That is not the message of the United Church of Christ and it is the reason Veritas exists. We are a Church committed to the Truth. What is this truth? That NO one is outside of God's love. God made you. That God loves you exactly as you are and that there is room in God's heart for you. Gay or Straight, Black, White or Latino, married or single, pierced or inked, there is a place in God's heart (and with us) for you! Join us!
