Bringing Spirituality Home, Wherever You Are
Necessity Brings Innovation
In the wake of 2020’s shutdowns and social distancing, we quickly made the decision to begin presenting Sunday services remotely while the building was closed.
With much thanks to our supportive community members who stepped up with knowledge and research, we were able to quickly put together an ever-evolving online presence.
Even now, as we meet in person, we still consider our livestream to be a valuable tool in reaching our community members, whatever their location or condition. No matter the circumstance, our distant friends can stay in touch and continue to be a participant in their congregation.

Not in a meaningful way. Unless you are performing, speaking, or sitting in the very first row, the most anyone will see of you for the majority of the service is the back of your head.
If you are concerned, we advise you to sit in the very back, in front of the A/V booth. While it may seem like being close to the camera is the last place you’d want to be, the camera will be zoomed in beyond you to avoid showing the A/V booth.
