Tolt Congregational

Welcome to the Tolt UCC Congregational Church. We will soon launch our new website, so please check back again!  Follow the links above for information regarding our Holy Week and Easter services.

We are a progressive Christian church, led by Christ, and we are continually learning new ways of understanding what it means to follow the teachings and example of Jesus. All are welcome here as we “journey in faith,” and “grow in spirit.” Come as you are - we do!

 

We warmly welcome all people. We are a dynamic congregation that embraces all cultures and races. Out of joy, we are committed to deepening faith and building relationships. We are an open and affirming community guided by the teachings of Jesus to:

 

• Come together as seekers who encourage our unique spiritual journeys through worship that is grounded on traditional foundations;
• Foster fellowship, personal love, consciousness, and a deep understanding of our connection with others;
• Educate, nurture, and guide, while providing a safe and healing environment for children, youth, and adults;
• Share in the service and care of the greater community;
• Embrace responsibility for nature and Earth ministry, emphasizing the worth and dignity of all life.

 

All persons – of every race, ethnic background, economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or personal ability – are equally affirmed and welcomed into worship, membership, leadership and employment.

"For the Bible Tells Me So"

Through the experiences of five very normal, very Christian, very American families- including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, - we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child.

Informed by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, the film offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.  Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival.
