How do I become a Member? What are the requirements for membership at Community UCC?

There is no theological “litmus test” for membership. Several times a year we hold a class for newcomers as a way of talking about the questions a person might want answered before deciding to officially join the congregation. Those who decide to join are welcomed into the congregation on a new member Sunday. There is no obligation to join and we enjoy the company of many people who continue as “friends” for years.

Is the church available for weddings and other special events?

The sanctuary is frequently rented by non-church members for weddings and because of its tremendously live acoustics, for musical events.

See our rental opportunities page for more details.
