Community Church
We are vibrant and committed spiritual community who are called to bring the teachings of Christ to our local community in a positive, caring way that fosters inclusion and progressive thinking. We believe the essence and purpose of a local community church is to serve the greater community and we actively pursue this goal every day.

We’re reading ‘The Universal Christ’ by Richard Rohr this fall
Rev. Cindy is recommending Richard Rohr’s The Universal Christbook to us this fall. She writes, “I found The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope for, and Believe quite comforting, engaging, and challenging all at the same time, but most of all, full of hope. I commend this book to you if you want a more in-depth understanding of who Christ was and what it means for you to walk in his footsteps today.”
We have copies of the book available for purchase at our ushers’ table, or you may purchase a physical book or download a Kindle version from Amazon at https://amzn.to/3hmDujp
For more events, please visit our Events page.
