No matter who you are, or where you are on your life's journey...
You are welcome here.
Welcome to Cedar Hills United Church of Christ!
We are an Open and Affirming church and a Sanctuary congregation of the national United Church of Christ, rooted in God's love, mercy and justice... and welcoming to ALL.
Join us for worship and celebration in person on Sundays, or watch us on YouTube. If you visit us to worship in person, we invite you to stay for coffee and conversation afterwards. We'd love to meet you!
No matter how or when you join us, we hope you find spiritual connection, sermons that are relevant, music that is inspiring, and a congregation that is open, friendly and supportive...
A church where you can explore your own questions - and always feel at home.
We celebrate the diversity of our spiritual backgrounds, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, ethnicity, age and abilities.
You are welcome here.
