We are a congregation striving to follow Christ in the ways of love, to cultivate a community of belonging, and to do our part of restorative justice in the world.
Whoever you are, and wherever you are within life’s most holy journey, you are welcome, and you belong.
Faith Formation
The Church is a community grounded in the compassion and ways of Christ. We learn from tradition, experience, and one another. We seek to live into the blessed knowledge that we are beloved by God, that we belong within this good earth, and that we are invited to be none other than who God has created and calls us to be. Questions and doubts are welcome here, not challenged. Wisdom and grace come from many sources within and outside of the church. We seek to honor it all.
Community of belonging
We begin with belonging. There is a divine diversity within humanity and this is not something to challenge, but something to honor. Who you are is a gift of God. We strive to not only welcome but affirm the myriad identities of beloved children of God and to create genuine community together. Who you are is for you to determine, and for the church to behold. Hiram Christian Church has committed itself to being an Open and Affirming Church.
Doing our part of restorative justice
God's vision and dream is one of justice and peace. There is encouragement for individuals and groups to discern where Christ is calling them and to step in to actions, work, and movements that lead to restorative justice and wholeness. How is God calling you into works of reconciliation and healing in the world?
