This class is a study and discussion group (no homework!) that meets Sundays at 9 a.m. in the building on Glendale Street immediately behind Wells Church. Please enter through the middle door (between youth area and James Club area).

The greater United Methodist Church has adopted the motto “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors.” We at Christ in Culture take that phrase seriously, being intentionally inclusive and welcoming.

Greatest Commandment

“Master, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Everything in the Law and the prophets hangs on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 36-40

Our Commitment as an Inclusive Community

We celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in a community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.

Christ in Culture affirms that through God’s redeeming love for all, we are one in Christ.
