Joining us for the first time? You are welcome here!
We are glad you found us. Our vision for our church community is to be:
Genuinely Inclusive
We believe that building the beloved community on earth means engaging and celebrating real differences, encountering our own unexamined bias, and moving from tolerance to inclusion.
Rationally Spiritual
From ancient sacred texts to modern science and poetry, we seek a direct experience of awe and wonder. We seek an experience of God that takes many forms.
Joyfully Deep
We engage in spiritual disciplines that call us to confront the suffering of the world and celebrate life’s joys. Together we commit to growing in compassion, generosity, and service to the world.
What to Expect on Your First Sunday
WORSHIP
Worship services are at 9:30 and 11 am in the Sanctuary.
Our Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge.
FOR FAMILIES
We offer childcare for children under 3 in the nursery at both services. Religious education for children ages 3 & up takes place during the 11 am service.

WHERE TO GO
Park in the YMCA Garage on Normandy and enter the Welcome Center.
Let one of the greeters know that you are a first-time visitor and they will be able to assist you with a name badge and offer additional assistance.
Visiting with Children?
We can’t wait to welcome you! Below are some tips for navigating your first Sunday. Questions? Email Children’s Ministries.
Stop by Children’s Ministries to check in—no need to register on your first visit.
Children begin the service with their parents for the first 10 minutes. They are then sung out of worship by the congregation and escorted to their classes by teachers waiting just outside the Sanctuary with signs.
You can pick up a worship bag with art supplies and fidgets—just ask an usher or look for the sign in the Narthex (the room right outside the Sanctuary.)
If your child prefers to stay with you during the service, there’s a space in the balcony with play items and seating designed to give them a little room to move around. You can also watch the service from a video screen in the Library Lounge, located adjacent to the Sanctuary balcony.
