New Series: Beguiled by Beauty

An early 6th century theologian described God as “beguiled by beauty.”
The Creator was lured by a longing for beauty and so set in motion a world of immense diversity and goodness. We were made for this Divine Goodness. We were made inherently worthy, not by our “doing,” but by our simply being. All things are beautiful–not by a standard of “pretty” as seen by our eyes, but by an essence of sacred worth that is sensed by the spirit.

This is the root and heart of compassion and justice.Practices of contemplation help us train our gaze to these deeper truths.
In this worship series we will dwell with the God of Divine Goodness,
deeply in love with us, and practice ways to return that love as we
fall more deeply in love with creation and with one another.

Category: About Us

cross The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of about 850,000 Christians in 3,800 congregations in the United States and Canada.

Two groups of frontier Christians came together in 1832 to form the foundation of today's Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

They shared the view that people should not be excluded from fellowship in the church because they didn't adhere to a particular human-made creed.

They used to say there is "no creed but Christ." Today's Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) still thinks that way.

We study the Bible to deepen our connection to God through Jesus Christ, and to discover what God wants us to do.
