A Different Kind of Mission Statement
We follow the way of Jesus
but respect and honor other traditions
We are serious about faith
yet don’t take ourselves too seriously
We are not bound by historic creeds
but guided by contemporary needs, scripture and Spirit
We don’t say “this is how your faith should look”
Instead, we seek to be your partner in spiritual growth
We are an independent congregation
and enjoy the benefits of charting our own course
We don’t have members
yet over 350 families call the Community Church “home”
We have no committees or bureaucracy
and encourage worship, education, mission & fellowship
We worship in the historic Lily Reid Holt Chapel
and believe using existing spaces is good stewardship
We experience nature as a dynamic & inspiring cathedral
holding over 30 worship services each year on the shores of Lake Michigan
We are known for our extraordinary music program
that you need to experience for yourself!
We are committed to experiential outreach
and creatively leverage our resources to support others
We offer inspiring worship, compassionate service, and opportunities for spiritual growth
and somehow, we always manage to have fun…
