Worship
You can join us in-person for worship on Sundays at 10 AM or watch live/later here. Worship is now back in our sanctuary with social distancing protocols in place. Masks are strongly encouraged at this time. We look forward to seeing you! If you are watching online, please give us a shout so we know you are with us.
CHLC is a welcoming community. Our diversity reflects God’s creation, and our shared unity is in Christ. Our history of welcoming refugees has extended to the work of anti-racism, uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community, and equity. We are an ELCA congregation rooted in the gospel message of Christ’s love and justice for all. We openly welcome and affirm YOU: your race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, as well as those of you who may have been excluded because of other human distinctions such as ability, age, addictions, mental health, imprisonment or economic status. We are committed to being the body of Christ because we believe: it takes a village.
