Welcome

church steeple Established in 1801 as the White Meeting House, the 21st century church stands on the same ground and continues to bear witness to the same message of Christ. Over time, the structure has changed a bit: a steeple was added during the civil war, stained glass windows replaced the clear originals, gracefully curved pews replaced the box pews. Through all these changes, the remarkable greek revival architecture remains honored.

And so also the gospel for which this church stands. Today, the table is open to anyone who would like to partake of it, no longer are people excluded from fellowship because their story did not meet the standards of the deacons.

Still today, as then in their own way 200 years ago, we continue the struggle to create better lives for each other, for our neighbors and indeed the world. We invite you to join us in our walk for the peace and justice we sense lies at the root of Jesus' gospel of God

 
 

Who We Are

We are a people who come together in the awe of worship celebrating the mystery of the love of God.  We think about God variously, but  hold in common an experience of God's inclusive grace moving us to embrace the other.  God's utterly unconditional love and gracious acceptance of us, compels us to celebrate life in its bewildering diversity.  We aim to be a diverse and creative community in background, in faith perspective, and in public expression.  We come together around the name of Jesus Christ, in whom we find this expression of love and gracious acceptance.  We believe that God is still speaking and find insight into the art of living as a disciple of Christ in dialogue with people of other faiths.

We strive for greater justice and peace in the world and are inspired by Jesus and the social activists through the centuries who have reached out to embrace the other.  And so we seek to be the change we wish to see in the world, respecting earth's patterns and honoring wellness in its many forms.

We are a community of open mind and open heart, valuing the progressive unfolding of theology, where all are encouraged to honor their minds, live their questions and embrace God's peace.  We welcome you no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey.
