Don't Fit Church?  Hell, Neither Do We!

There's often a magnetic pull toward spirituality and embarking on a personal journey, yet the conventional idea of a church may not resonate with everyone. That's why we've created a community—a church—that embraces and explores the distinctive paths of each individual's spiritual journey.

Our approach intentionally avoids the conventional trappings often associated with traditional churches, steering clear of the one-size-fits-all approach to spirituality.

We say we exist to inspire our community to a healthy spirituality that Takes Water to their world.

Skeptical? Explore a few of our talks tailored for newcomers to Friends Church and see for yourself.

What Makes Us a Little Different?

For starters, we try really hard to be honest about what are beliefs and what are provable facts - and we don't mix them up.  Spirituality is something we believe, it tends to not be provable.

We also believe each person is on their own unique spiritual journey.  No two journeys are the same.  And they shouldn't be.  We are all so different it only makes sense that our spirituality will be unique to each of us.

Don't Take Our Word for It

Inspiring place to congregate in the midst of the chaos all around us.

Oh sweet, sanctified streaming content— I have seen the light, and its name is this series. Every Sunday, I don’t just tune in. I baptize myself in Jeff’s glorious gospel of “Chuck Norris Jesus”— ripped, righteous, and roundhouse-kicking my assumptions into blessed oblivion. Then there’s “Swedish Jesus,” calm and blonde, serving up grace with a side of lingonberries and existential dread. But wait—enter Vince, the philosopher-preacher-poet, who doesn’t just read the Good Book—he scribbles in the margins. He leans in close, eyes twinkling, and whispers, “But what if Jesus… was wrong?” And somehow, it’s not blasphemy. It’s a TED Talk hosted by the burning bush. Together, these two mad prophets weave biblical parables with pop culture, treating the Bible, the Qur’an, and your aunt’s crystal collection not as divine diktats, but spiritual fanfics from different corners of humanity. Each episode? A communion of comedy and cosmic curiosity. Each Sunday? A new gospel according to “Dude, just think about it.” So thank you, gentlemen of the sacred mic. You’ve turned my Sunday scaries into Sunday hallelujahs. I’m not just watching—I’m repenting, laughing, and maybe slightly deconstructing. Amen, and also… LOL.

I was researching for a nondenominational church that is accepting of all and doesn't judge based on orientation, past religious exposure. I watched the on-line service today, was impressed, and found the topic presented well, thought provoking and informative. I hope to attend in person at some point, I live in deep SE, so it will take some planning. So on-line it may be. for a while.

I keep my spirituality rather private. Friends Church is where I go to reconnect with that spirituality. Everyone is welcome here and it is a great place to gather and give thanks. 🙏🏻❤️

For those wishing to pursue spiritual growth without all of the religious trappings, this is for you. For those who think critically and still seek answers, this is for you. For those wanting passionate, committed community leadership, this is for you. I’m thankful to have stumbled across Friends Church. I didn’t realize that such communities exist!

Who Is Welcome?

Everyone is welcome, and we mean everyone (assuming you are a person who can be in a place where everyone is welcome).  Our only guidelines are that we love each other, the best we are able.

We are made up of people who identify with every gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, religious background, religious expression, race, age, etc.  We have people who identify as Christian and some who don't, some who identify as theists and some who don't.  We are a diverse community and everyone - no matter what you believe, where you came from, or who you are - as long as can love the people around you, you are welcome!

What's My Next Step?

Take a look around.  Check out our previous talks.  Watch the live stream Sunday morning so you can listen to the music and the teaching.  And if or when you are ready, consider joining us Sunday morning in person.  There is something about this Jewish Temple that just might move you.
