    St. Michael's United Church of Christ

    Welcome Home!

    St. Michael's United Church of Christ is a little church congregation 

    with a big heart. 

    • We grow food for those without.
    • We clothe those in need.
    • We welcome those who have been forgotten.
    • We work for social and environmental justice.

    We welcome everyone to our Sunday worship service and fellowship time. 

    Please join us for a meaningful spiritual experience and a chance to connect with like-minded individuals.

    What to expect:

    The Experience

    Weekly services are considered "traditional" with pipe organ and piano music and last about an hour. We offer large-print hymnals, and our sanctuary is accessible via elevator.

    Communion

     All are welcome to join in celebrating Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month.

    Fellowship Time

    After the weekly church service, most members go to the fellowship room (church basement) for refreshments and conversation. Each week members take turns hosting fellowship time and bringing food to share. Fairtrade coffee and tea are provided.  You'll be greeted like family!
