Rincon Congregational is pleased to welcome its new UCC sibling church, the Tucson Marshallese UCC congregation. This vibrant and growing community—families from the Marshall Islands—has outgrown its former space and now calls the Rincon campus home. They will gather for worship and fellowship in shared spaces during the week and maintain a pastoral office on site. Rincon’s Council has unanimously affirmed this partnership, celebrating the opportunity to share space and ministry with a family-oriented, hard‑working congregation already contributing positively to campus life.
