  • You will hear a sermon in which the Bible will be interpreted as ancient literature best understood as symbol and myth rather than history in a literal sense and in which God is understood as Love-Itself while Jesus represents the human possibility and expression of love, compassion, mercy and the longing for justice to which we are all called.

  • You and your children will be invited to join others in the Parish Hall following the service for coffee, refreshments, and conversation.
ABOUT THE KIND OF COMMUNITY WE ARE TRYING TO BUILD?

We are working to build a community in which you and all others are safe to be honest and open about who you are and what you actually think and believe; a community in which no one has to pretend to believe something they do not believe to find acceptance.

Historically, the ancestors of our Church were born during the great religious persecutions and wars that took place in Europe between protestants and Roman Catholics and between various factions of protestants during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was a time of Christians killing other Christians in the name of "orthodoxy" or correct-approved theologies and doctrines.

Given this history we choose to place love and acceptance ahead of "correct belief."  The only requirement for membership in our congregation is a willingness to accept others as they are and to act respectfully toward those who are different and/or do not agree with you. If this sounds good to you, please come and join us.

HOW DO WE INTEND TO TOUCH THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF DAVIS COUNTY?

The focus of our efforts to bring love, hope and healing to those beyond the walls of our church is to make positive differences in the lives of children living in poverty. One way we are doing this is in partnership with Circles - a non-profit organization with works with families to help them escape the crushing power of poverty.

We touch the lives of people beyond the boundaries of our congregation in a number of ways through our monthly Wednesday evening free meal program, our support of the Bountiful Food Pantry, The Inn-Between (a ministry to provide hospice for the homeless), Davis County Homeless Teens, and other nonprofits. It is also true that we are currently working together as a congregation to discern with greater clarity the kind of community service in which we will give ourselves in the coming years.  Please join us in our discernment process.
