Joining from home
Can’t make it in person?
Every Sunday service is also on Zoom, and long-distance members are a real part of this congregation, not an afterthought.
The link changes week to week. We post it on our Facebook page each week, so that is always the place to look first. For Wednesday Bible study, e-mail Pastor Tom and he will add you to the list that receives each week’s link.

How do I join on Zoom?

I have never been to church before. Will I fit in?
Come as you are. We don’t care what color, sexual orientation, job you do or don’t have, where you are from, or where you have been — whether you have been part of church forever, or you are a newbie, a seeker, or someone hurting because of another church experience in your past. Bring your burdens, hopes, struggles and energy.
Is the building really from 1884?
The congregation was organized in 1883 and held its first services in 1884. The sanctuary still has its natural finished interior and its 1884 Johnson & Son pipe organ, and the tower above still holds a working E. Howard & Co. pendulum clock and a bell cast in 1884.
Questions are welcome — just call (802) 645-0499.
