We provide child care for infants and religious education for children and youth during worship services. In the summer, children are welcome to attend the summer services at Bethany Lane or at the location indicated.
Our mission is to
invite seekers into spiritual community,
connect souls in mystery and wonder, and
ignite compassion into action.
We are a church of liberal religious worship that inspires its members on their spiritual journeys. We
- derive a common spiritual center from Jewish and Christian roots while drawing inspiration from other world religions;
- promote religious education for all ages;
- create a welcoming, supporting, and caring community;
- and work together to build a better world.
