Welcome! Arcadia Congregational Church is devoted to the concept that persons of widely differing theological understandings can join together to form a Christian community of faith. As individual members, we are free to believe and act in accordance with our awareness of God’s will for our lives. But we are also called to live in a loving and accepting relationship with one another.

We are a church with an open table, inviting all who want to follow Jesus’ message of love, forgiveness, and service to join with us in worship. Our church is here to nurture your spiritual quest.

Arcadia Congregational Church is a community of faith-keeping and faith-seeking people who affirm that every person has worth as a unique creation made in the image of God. We have an open table and invite all who want to follow Jesus’ message of love, forgiveness, and acceptance to join us for worship, fellowship, and service.

With God’s grace we declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation. We seek to be a faith community that welcomes and celebrates all people, embracing differences of age, race, ethnicity, socio-economic background, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, and mental and physical abilities.
