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

  • Educate, nurture, and guide, while providing a safe and healing environment for children, youth, and adults

What we Believe

We believe all are welcome and united by God’s love. For The United Church of Christ, Justice and Jesus are inseparable. Our daily worship is anchored by the belief that God is still speaking.

We believe that each person is on a spiritual journey and that each of us is at a different stage of that journey.

Our Story

Our church has been part of Carnation for more than 125 years!

You can read the complete history of the church from its beginning in 1894 as compiled for our centennial celebration in 1994. Church history

Our Mission

We welcome all, love all, and seek justice for all.

We believe that God calls us to be servants in the service of others and to be good stewards of the earth’s resources.

To believe is to care; To care is to do

What are services like?

Our Sunday services follow common protestant Christian patterns (e.g. readings from the Bible, hymns, children’s time) intermingled with music, readings and a reflection (rather than a sermon).

People come wearing whatever feels comfortable, and our children have a space to play and listen in our wonderful chapel when they are not in Faith Formation.

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.
