Every day God has good news for us. How do we find serenity in a world that contains suffering and struggle? Our answer is: together.

Awake. Engaged. In Love.

Our ministry continually seeks to make the church more awake, more engaged, and more in love.

AWAKE means recognizing that the world in which we live is not what God intends. We commit to study and to prayer, to be still until we understand the world as it is and the distance we have to travel.

ENGAGED means putting our resources and our bodies into action. We commit to develop the skills needed, to have the hard, honest conversations that move the world closer to Christ's peaceable realm.

IN LOVE means laying down the methods of the world — competition, fear, and judgment — in favor of God’s Way. We commit to love, always to love; to listen, to be kind, and to have compassion.

Accessibility

 Our church strives to be accessible to all persons of all abilities. All places in our building are wheelchair accessible. Single-stall, gender neutral bathrooms are located on each level, though not all are fully accessible. In our Sanctuary, we have open spaces for wheelchairs included among the pews. We offer large-print worship bulletins for those with low vision. We are still learning to better serve guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, and we are working to offer ASL interpretation each week. During Holy Communion, the bread we share is allergen-free — no eggs, gluten, dairy, or nuts.

Faith Discovery

We love children of all ages and stages! Children are welcome to stay with their families throughout the worship service. They are also invited to join our Faith Workshop classes (i.e. Sunday School) which takes place during a worship. Learn more about our Family Ministries.

Sacraments

The Plymouth Church recognizes two sacraments: Baptism and Communion. Both sacred rituals are open and available to all persons. To learn about baptism, please contact one of our ministers. We celebrate Communion the first Sunday of every month. Our table is open to all persons, all ages and stages, all faiths and beliefs.

Membership

Membership indicates that you are ready to support the work of this church with your prayers, presence, service, and financial support. We offer “classes” periodically for you to learn more and ask questions. Those who are ready to join are invited, during worship, to read our founding covenant together with the congregation. If you have questions about membership, please chat with our Pastors or one of our Deacons at any time.

Labyrinth

Located off a corner of our parking lot, tucked just into the woods, our Labyrinth is open to the public. It is a quiet place of dappled sunlight and soft breezes. We invite everyone to take in its mystery with a silent, meditative walk. For full details, photos, and a guide to its use, visit our Labyrinth page.
