Community Church is intentionally Multi-Denominational, serving the needs of people in Desert Hot Springs and celebrating our progressive mainline Protestant heritage by:
- affirming full inclusion and participation of all, regardless of gender, race, politics, sexual orientation, marital status, income, or history
- working for economic justice in the world
- participating in efforts to combat climate change
- supporting outreach to the homeless and those in need, both in the United States and abroad
- focusing on the ministries of Grace and Love through the Holy Spirit
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU GET HERE:
Our congregation isn't focused on large buildings or expensive decorations. We prefer to direct our offerings toward charities that help people in need! We meet in a converted Mobile Home behind the pastor's residence, and park in the large yard just East of the church site. We meet informally, in a small group setting, with just a simple altar space at the front of the room. Our clergy volunteer their time, and take turns bringing the weekly messages based on the Revised Common Lectionary, a means for moving through the seasons of the Christian Year in an organized manner. We have hymn books for those who want them, but usually sing "off the screen," as lyrics and scriptures are projected. We share joys and concerns freely, although these are not recorded on our Zoom uploads, and pray for one another throughout the week.
