Gospel Choir Sunday Worship Gathering: Once a month Robert Robinson and the Gospel Choir lead us through a moving worship experience. Community worship draws us together in solidarity to express devotion to God and unites us in our passion to be followers of Christ. This monthly worship service also includes a message from a guest speaker to challenge, inspire and encourage our faith. All are welcomed.

Do Justice, Love Mercy Gathering: Once a month we meet to discuss how our community can make a difference through social justice work. We invite guest speakers to educate us, we partner with the healing block, and we strategize practical ways we can take action. We are currently focusing on “Housing Equity” work which also includes addressing systemic racism and poverty. All people from any background are encouraged to join us in this important work.

Wonder Together Gathering: A Bible passage discussion group meeting once a month. This is a different style of Bible study where the leader of the group is more of a facilitator of discussion than a teacher. Time is given for discussions around our personal paths of spiritual growth and contemplative practices are often included. Please come share your experiences and insights.

Community Table Gathering: Once a month we meet for a time of fellowship, connection, and support. Each month a different member shares their story and a short devotional. We share communion, and we share a pot-luck meal. The goal is to create a support group environment where everyone feels accepted, valued, and loved. All are welcomed.

We continue to look for additional ways to gather that actively embody our mission.
