This summer, Compassion Camp, our progressive approach to Vacation Bible School, returns! Compassion Camp explores what it means to have compassion for ourselves, for others, and for the world. This Summer, we will explore what all living things need to live—shelter, food, water, air, and community—and how we can have compassion for the living earth, especially in our local ecosystems. Through awareness, gratitude, wonderment, reciprocity, and kinship, we will consider how to become co-sustainers and participants in the work of God’s creation
We know finding a new church where can be wholly yourself without shame is daunting. This is your Sacred Place.
Let us know who you are and how you would like to stay in the loop of what’s going on at Sacred Place.
We are dedicated to justice, inclusion, and family. What does that mean to us? Learn more about who we are.
We gather at the Sacred Place Mission Center each Sunday at at 11 am, Pastor Matthew shares a reflection during our time of worship with music and often communion. Our worship gatherings are live streamed on Facebook and YouTube as well as our website.
If you’re interested in refreshing conversation with refreshments, show up 30 minutes early (10:30 am) for Sacred Place Together.
Masks are now optional. We ask those attending in-person to be updated on their COVID-19 vaccines which includes the bivalent booster. If you aren’t up-to-date on your vaccines or are experiencing cold, allergy, or flu-like symptoms, please join us online.
We work hard to create a Sacred Place where people do the work of justice in our world, especially in our communities. The themes of justice, inclusion, and family are the heart of who we are called to be and who we strive to be.
Justice-making is often daunting when our world feels so unjust at times. Finding something tangible which will actually have an impact can be difficult, but it is rewarding. It is life-giving not only to those who do the work, but most importantly, to those who benefit from the work.
Including others in our world takes intentional effort to create places of welcome, places of safety, and places of belonging. That work extends far beyond our online or in-person gatherings.
Sustaining the family of God starts with ourselves and grows to include the community around us. We work to find small ways of living out our mission in our community so that we might align our actions with our hearts.
