Friendly chats on the way to coffee hour.
(We are a social bunch.)

When and where are services held? We have two Sunday services. The 7:30 am service is held in our Seminar Room and is contemplative in nature, with meditation, a message from the minister, and time for discussion. The 10:00 am service is held in the Sanctuary and is "celebratory" in nature. Every third Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm we offer a service of Taize' chants in the Seminar Room.

Is parking available? There is a parking lot adjacent to the church with ample parking. Just come to the top of Rock Hill Drive and you will find yourself there! There is also parking in the cul de sac in front of the church and along the street (be sure to curb your wheels). There are handicapped slots in the parking lot.

Are children welcome?  Yes! We have Activity Bags available for children ages 4 - 10 when they come in to the service. These bags will contain books/stories, coloring materials, and other quiet activities. After the beginning of the service, the children are invited to sit on the couches by the fireplace with an adult helper, or they may stay with their parents in the congregation.

What should I wear?   Whatever makes you feel comfortable! Many people dress casually when coming to church, while some prefer to don their “Sunday-go-to-meetin’” clothes.

What can I expect when I come to a service?   A warm welcome! If you come to the earlier service, you can expect to be nurtured in an environment of contemplation and meditation. At the later service, you will find that the energy is high and the spirit lively, and on all Sundays except the fourth Sunday of the month, the CCC choir will offer an anthem. Both services include a message from the minister.

Will someone try to "sell me" on your church? I don't like to be pressured.  We invite newcomers to introduce themselves if they would like to, but there is never any pressure to become involved or to make any commitments. If you are interested in learning more about the church and the activities that are available to you here, a member of our Welcome Team will be happy to talk with you, and/or you may speak to our minister or to any member of the congregation.

What's going on before and after the services? A bonus to attending the 10:00 service is the "bountiful Welcome Table" available afterwards. During our social hour, folks linger to enjoy the snacks and to visit with each other. Once a month after the 10:00 service we have a “fourth Sunday” gathering at which our co-moderators report on the activities of our Governing Board. All are welcome at these meetings.

Where can I find a schedule of upcoming events and activities?  All events scheduled at the church, e.g., various committee meetings, can be found on our online calendar on the Home page of this website. Also check our Events page for upcoming activities at the church and beyond .

Can I be involved in activities if I’m not a member?  The only activity not open to non-members is voting at our congregational meetings. You are welcome to participate in any and all church activities which may be of interest to you.
