MINISTRY CELEBRATIONS

The CSCC annual report draft will available here on this page beginning Friday, June 6. The link to it will also be distributed via email on that same date. Please review the reports, and we will have time to celebrate the past year and share accomplishments and plans for the upcoming year.

W.I.S.E. (Welcoming, Inclusive, Supportive, and Engaged) VOTE

In 2023, Rev. Beth Stotts approached several members of the congregation regarding becoming a WISE congregation through the UCC Mental Health Network. Officially an “Open and Affirming” congregation since 2014, we immediately recognized that WISE was consistent with our O&A stance and that it would be a natural progression in terms of demonstrably widening our welcome.
