Question 1

Think you just don’t like church?

Accepted Answer

Many of us have felt the same way.  Many of us have vowed we’d never go back.  But we tried.  And we liked it.  And now we’re here—and we think you might find something refreshing here too.

Question 2

Think all churches are judgmental and hypocritical?

Accepted Answer

We’re not perfect nor do we claim to be.  We do our best.  We make mistakes.  And we support one another as we try to love alike even if we don’t always think alike.

Question 3

Think church is irrelevant?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it can be, so here we seek to ask real questions, give honest answers, and challenge one another to grow.

Question 4

Think you need to know all the answers?

Accepted Answer

We hope not, because we certainly don’t have them all, but we believe there’s value in exploring issues that matter together.

Question 5

Think church is too stuffy and boring?

Accepted Answer

It can be, so we embrace a sense of humor, believing that worship should be fun, and we offer a wide variety of musical expressions.

Question 6

Think you won’t fit in?

Accepted Answer

You will.  Historically the United Church of Christ has been the first church to take a stand against slavery (1700), to ordain an African American (1785), to ordain a woman (1853), and to ordain an openly gay person (1972).  We are Open and Affirming and have a history of welcoming those others have turned away.  You’ll be welcome here.

Question 7

Think it’s hard to journey through the world alone?

Accepted Answer

We do too.  So we join together to support each other no matter what we’re facing in life.

Join us on Sundays at 10:00am in person or Livestream
