Faith
The congregation recognizes equally persons of faith and conscience as members who support and work for social justice. While current CfR members are predominantly of a Christian faith, we welcome people of all faiths and religions. Members create groups and programming to nurture and challenge their faith.
Members, participants and friends celebrate their faith in our Sunday house church service, bible study, children’s church and holidays throughout the year.
