Community Church of North Orange & Tully

WORSHIP SERVICE - Sundays, 9 am

We journey together, seeking to include all and asking them to walk with us. We believe God is Love ever with us, still speaking through various things - other people, nature, music, art, a theorem, the Bible, and in so many other ways. Jesus of Nazareth, who preached and lived the way of love, is our foundation, our way-shower and our touchstone.

We are affiliated with the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian-Universalist Association, yet welcoming to all regardless of denominational affiliation, faith tradition, or lack thereof. We are Open and Affirming to all, regardless of sexual orientation. We journey together, seeking to include all and asking them to walk with us.

Simply put, we are here to cultivate Compassionate Community, a church of people seeking and striving in both our individual and collective lives to make real Jesus' teachings of Love and his life of Love.

Our sacred aim is to love God who is Love, namely by loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Mission Statement

The Community Church is a center for the community to gather for worship, and family and neighborhood activities. As a faith community we honor the uniqueness and importance of every individual. We believe God seeks to guide our lives, we embrace Jesus Christ as the one who expresses compassion, justice, and love, and we strive to show these qualities in all our relationships.

Statement of Faith

In faith, we acknowledge that God has acted in the past in holy history. In faith, we confess that God seeks to guide us in our lives today. In faith, we affirm that God continues to send prophets and speak through each of us to guide the course of all history. In faith, we imagine that course to embrace the qualities we find in Jesus Christ: compassion, justice, and love. In faith, we strive to be a part of that purpose.
