Meditation, Tai Chi, Hymn Sings, Bible Study, Book Clubs, Faith Exploration and Social Justice discussions - we are very active online during the weekdays, both during the day and at night.

We have many choral concerts and partner with artists in the community to present an evening of creativity with unique ideas that can shine a light on a situation, expand the discussions or just simply entertain.

We are providing both in person and online events so please check our website for the current events at the church.
