welcome, traveller...

Welcome to Mira Vista United Church of Christ, home to progressive spiritual seekers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Worship services are at 12 noon in El Cerrito, California, just across the Bay from San Francisco, north of Berkeley.

NEWSFLASH: Our pastor, the Rev. Susan Meeter, is travelling in South India as of January 2, 2010. What will she learn from traveling and meditating with Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus? What new adventures will we have with our sabbatical pastor, the Rev. Katie Morrison?

We begin a new adventure, new year, and new decade with great anticipation, knowing that we will be part of God's love in action in brand-new ways.

Rev. Katie, mom of baby Ellie, is excited about leading Mira Vista in faithful worship, work, and play. Come by and join the party!

Come and see our vibrant, inclusive community: we foster spiritual growth with open-handed creativity, questioning, listening, laughing, singing, and healing.

Has church turned you off with oppressive theology, clannishness, or hierarchical thinking? Find relief and liberation here; we support your recovery.

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your journey, you are invited and welcome. We are an Open and Affirming congregation, with an open door, an open Book, open arms, open minds, and open hearts.

In the United Church of Christ we say "God is still speaking, " meaning that God is active in our lives and in our hearts, right now. Seekers have been following the Jesus Way for 2,000 years: today's travellers blend all that is new and exciting with the Church's oldest traditions.

We hope that you will join us on the journey. Come on by!
