Connect & Grow

Today’s world has plenty of options for “keeping in touch.” But real connection can be a lot harder to come by. So we’ve come up with a wide variety of ways for you, and every member of your family, to find them.

We use the word family with a lot of space built in—space for those who are together by marriage, by blood, or by choice. As Maya Angelou has said, family is: “the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, and who love you no matter what.”

We celebrate our beautiful blended family daily through our ministries tailored for children, teenagers and adults; ministries that enable the exploration of spirituality through music and the arts; and our comprehensive and compassionate pastoral care program.

We support and welcome families of all kinds. Always.

Our children’s and youth programs offer ancient wisdom through a modern mindset that helps connect them to their families and the Divine with joy, hope and a lot of laughter. We invite them to inhabit a truly diverse community that’s both queer and straight, multiracial, intergenerational, and inclusive of all abilities and incomes, and encourage moral development through stories, service and the arts.  

Our Sunday School program for children, God’s Neighborhood, meets on Sunday mornings during the school year.

Our Youth Groups and Pilgrim Fellowship programs for junior and senior high school students meet at a variety of times throughout the year.

We offer a network of honorary grandparents and community support to help you through the challenging seasons of parenting; high-quality childcare during our Sunday worship services, and a promise that your children will be loved by the human beings here the way that God loves them— unconditionally.

As we have all heard, loneliness is an epidemic in this country, and while there are no quick fixes for that problem on a national level, here in our local community we offer a wide variety of ways for adults to get together to learn, craft, play, and make new friends. If you want to feel closer to others, find support, and a sense of belonging, we hope you’ll explore some of our many opportunities for connection.
