Visit for Sunday Worship

10:00am Worship
11:00am Refreshments 
11:15am Gatherings for All Ages (see below)
Our community gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10am in the Sanctuary, a beautiful space dating back to 1888. (In the summer, we gather in the smaller Chapel.) We gather to sing, to pray, and to listen.

Our service , which lasts one hour, appeals to those looking for a forward thinking and inclusive worship experience that draws on music and liturgy, old and new 

We share the bread and the cup of Communion on the first Sunday of each month with an open table (meaning anyone who wants to share the bread and the cup are invited to do so).   

Kids, Students, and Parents

10:15am God's Story, Our Stories
During part of the worship service (10:15-11am), kids are invited explore stories of the Bible and their own place in God’s unfolding story.    

11:15am Kids Create, Kids Serve 
Kids gather in community for music, art, drama, poetry & service projects.  

10am to 12:30pm Sprouts
This nurturing and professionally-staffed space invites our youngest friends (0-5yrs) to Biblical storytelling, art and play.  

Parents of Kids 
Parents of Kids meet following worship on the first Sunday of every month to share a meal and connect.  
We're working together to create a community
where kids are free to be kids, 
to develop as the spiritual beings they are, 
to come to know themselves as loved by God. 
We are learning Bible stories and the way of Jesus, 
creating spaces to hear kids’ stories, and 
celebrating it all in art, music, poetry, and drama.
