Welcome

We are delighted that you found us. We envision this site as a “front porch,” where you can come and find out about us in a very comfortable manner, and learn more about many facets of our life together. Feel free to browse through and see if there is a meaningful way for you to connect… to connect with the Divine Source of our life, to connect with other folks who are passionate and engaged, and to connect with the world around us!

Here at Covenant United Methodist Church we believe in the image of God in all persons. We strive to practice “Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors” with regards to all. We believe in the full-personhood and full inclusion of historically marginalized people groups, including but not limited to People of Color, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, the disabled, those living in poverty, and other groups. We acknowledge and lament that the Church has not always embodied the ways of Jesus and has often participated in and supported systems of oppression. We strive to shed ourselves of these idols and live in solidarity and support of the oppressed. When we say, “All are welcome!” we mean, “All means all.”

For our community, we will not “hide our light under a bushel basket.” This is who we are and what we are all about. You are invited to come and explore our community of faith in whatever way is meaningful for you.

We pray that you might find our community of faith a place of newfound relevance for your spiritual searching – a place where you don’t necessarily go to find the “right” answers, but a place to explore your questions and your faith.  We strive to be a diverse place, that requires us to engage with one another grounded in the love of God.

Message Series: “Practicing Our Beliefs” – Aug 23rd – Oct 25th

For ten weeks, we will be diving into what it means to think and live “theologically.” Now, before you run away from this $10 million word, let’s consider why this matters.

It seems to be the human condition to have a gap between our stated beliefs and our embodied life. For example, I believe that exercise and eating healthy are important practices, but I also have a toddler who can make it really difficult to schedule time to exercise regularly unless I want to get up at 4am (which I don’t). I also really enjoy a treat and believe that life is short enough that treats don’t need to be limited too much. More relevant to the worship series, we all want to believe that God is loving and gracious. And yet we also struggle to have grace for people who really tick us off.
You can see how quickly, in practice, even if we really believe something, it might take practice to truly embody it. So we’re going to spend this series diving deeply into a topic of theology and belief each week, including “what is theology, and why do we need it?” Additionally, when our Adult-Ed kicks off this fall, it will follow the same structure, which can be found in a book entitled, “Practicing Christian Doctrine: An Introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically” by Beth Felker Jones. So be sure to bring your questions and thoughts to Adult Ed as well.

Education

Our church is convinced that the Christian faith addresses all aspects of our lives – including spiritual, physical, social, and political. Our educational topics reflect this holistic approach. These programs are offered as Community Classroom events or in our Sunday adult education classes after worship each week.

Health & Wellness

Nurturing both mind and body is one of our core missions. Our beautiful building is a place for activities like Yoga, Tai Chi, Pickle Ball, and more. Events like our Seasonal Feasts celebrate nutritional health using gifts from our own community garden.

Creation Care

We take seriously our role in sustainability and forward-thinking creation care ideas, whether it comes from our beautiful community gardens, or educational programs and research about environmental issues.

Compassion & Justice

As Christians, we are called to do Acts of Compassion and Acts of Justice. Compassion is showing kindness to another person. Justice is an action that creates a change that makes things fairer in our community or world.
