Ministry & Worship
church services

Every Sunday at 10:30am we gather in our chapel to explore the world's wisdom. Sermon topics are listed in our newsletter and calendar. Once a month we also feature a guest speaker to offer us lectures & sermons from a variety of perspectives. You are always welcome to stop by and join with us for our 10:30am Sunday service.

Our church calendar year runs from September through June. After that, our parishioners organize to conduct services during the months of July & August. This is in keeping with our belief of Freedom of the Pulpit & Pew.

You can find a listing of sermon topics at Preaching by Parishioners page or in our calendar.

I loved being able to create a personal wedding that suited both my partner and I.

 

 

 

 

We rented both the chapel and the banquet hall. For us to be able to have our ceremony in this lovely chapel and then walk across to a spacious & beautiful banquet hall was perfect. We had lots of out-of-town guests and this solved many logistical problems!

The grounds are lovely and our caterers even complimented the modern kitchen facilities. We were very pleased!
