At Community of Christ we believe no one should be left on the outside looking in. Our congregation is built on relationships—sharing meals, supporting one another, working for peace and justice, and celebrating the milestones of life together.

Faith here isn’t about checking boxes of belief or agreeing on every answer - or even claiming to have all the answers. We recognize that faith evolves, and questions are part of the journey. Some of us hold traditional Christian beliefs, others are still searching, and many carry both doubt and hope at the same time. What unites us is not uniformity, but a shared commitment to follow the example of Jesus in community, seeking peace, compassion, and authentic belonging

An inclusive faith community rooted in peace, justice, and belonging
