The Open Church is a sacred place where those who are hurting, confused, and in need can find healing and hope, regardless of color, culture, or creed.

It is a wide place where “Abraham’s family” – Christians, Jews, and Muslims – can dialogue with Buddhists and Bahá’is and where Hindus can dialogue with Humanists.

The Open Church is a joyful place where children, seniors, migrant workers, people experiencing homelessness, and scholars eagerly learn from and teach one another.

It is a safe place where varied ethnicities and capabilities, genders and sexual identities, social and economic groups gather in peace to break bread at Christ’s Communion Table, as we break down stereotypes.

As sacred siblings born to our Heavenly Father who is Divine Mother of us all, we practice radically inclusive love that proclaims and builds up the “kin-dom of God.”

We're bringing Discipleship 101 back with an engaging, 4-part course to help us think about what it means to be a radically inclusive congregation. This is a primer to a deeper dive into Dr. Brad Braxton's latest book, Open: Unorthodox Thoughts on God and Community. We will meet on Thursdays, June 8, 15, 22, and 29 at 7pm via Zoom.

Please note, purchasing the book is not a requirement to participate; materials will be provided before the first class.
