Who’s Speaking on Sunday?

Every Sunday at 11am

HYBRID WORSHIP SERVICE

Join us on Sunday at 11am in our Zoom room or in-person for a unique and innovative hybrid worship service.

ABOUT SERVICES

Our community is lay-led, which means members take turn every week leading Sunday services full of ritual, meditation, and communal reflection. However, we also have the wonderful opportunity of having a different guest service speaker each week, which allows for a diverse spectrum of perspective, expertise, and wisdom. We also have two amazing consulting ministers that speak once a month as well. So please come back again and again for focused community and a new message.

VIRTUAL SERVICE EXPERIENCE

If you're not comfortable meeting in-person or you’re living remotely, we welcome you to attend our dynamic live-streaming of the in-person service. For our virtual community, we also have time before and after service to socialize on our FUN Zoom channel
