Our values
Love
Jesus taught us to love one another and to celebrate the diversity among us. We affirm the worth of each individual as a special and unique creation made in God’s image. We welcome and affirm people of of every religious background, sexual orientation, family composition, physical and mental ability, ethnicity, age, and gender identity and expression. We are a diverse group of people who are exploring their own spiritual paths in a variety of ways, including faith formation classes, Bible studies, and retreats. We cherish, honor, support and serve each other, in all our differences.
Faith
The Community Church of Sebastopol supports your Christian-based values while encouraging you to question and explore your faith. The church offers a place to belong, connecting you with what truly matters in life. Unlike a church with a rigid dogma to follow, we offer a progressive environment of love, prayer, worship, and support, with opportunities to serve others in our community. We offer weekly worship services, faith formation classes and childcare during services, providing time, space, and guidance to ask important questions, to give thanks for all we have, and to pray.
Service
We seek to teach the message of Jesus to all ages and to put our faith into action wherever we can. We encourage everyone to participate fully in every aspect of our church’s life and ministry, sharing in worship, fellowship, leadership, learning, and service. As Christians, we are lucky to experience God’s reconciling love. In response, we seek to embrace justice and to stand with all who suffer discrimination, isolation and alienation. We are thankful for the variety of talents and perspectives which continue to enrich us as we journey together in a community of shared love, faith, and service.
