FAQ
I've been to church once or twice (or never). What happens in church? There's some sitting and listening, as well as some standing and singing. There are some prayers and the sermons/message are always in everyday language and apply to everyday life! It's a time of being inspired, being in community, and being reminded that all things are possible with God.
Is there a fee to attend? No fee. Church is free. Donations are welcome for the work of the church in the community.
Do I need to dress up? Absolutely not.
Can LGBTQAI+ people attend? Yes! We are an Open and Affirming church and ALL are welcome to attend, join teams, and be in leadership.
Is it boring? No way! Our minister is dynamic and engaging.
I don't like being called a "sinner". You won't be. We don't like to use that word here.
How long is the service? One hour. If you'd like to stay and chat with people, we have free refreshments afterward!
What to expect: learning & laughter, prayer & praise, caring & compassion, giving & growth!

Creating the Beloved Community
We love our historic building and the caring community that gathers here! For over 200 years, people have gathered to worship and serve God right here in the heart of Sanford. You can feel the presence of those folks from the past in our pews and in the sunlight that streams in the sanctuary windows on a Sunday morning. They inspire who we are today as we open our doors to all who seek to know God, to do good, to know justice, to be inspired, and to bring hope to others by living a life of faith and service.
