Kirkland Congregational Church

The Progressive Christian Voice in the Heart of Kirkland

No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey
you are welcome here!

Pastor Ann inviting us to communion.

It's spring; the flowers are blooming and new babies are being brought into our world.
We had a duck make a nest in the front of the church!
She had a dozen eggs she sat on for a couple of weeks. The babies hatched and she promptly marched them to the lake.

We want to tell you a little about our church, because we might be unlike many other churches you've known.

We believe in intellectual and spiritual freedom. We are a non-creedal church with local autonomy. That means that we don't expect you to sign your name to a page of Christian doctrine before you can join us. It also means that while our church is in covenant with the wider United Church of Christ, we are not required to obey decisions made at faraway meetings. We are a thinking congregation, considering and caring for the wider United Church of Christ and the church universal, while we make our own decisions about faith and practice. Each of us searches to define what it means to be a follower of Jesus in a way that is intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually satisfying. The part that makes us a church is that we live out our freedom and autonomy in a community that we have chosen to join.

Together we are much more than we are individually. We invite you to join us and share the joys of Christian fellowship, worship, study, and service. You will find a warm and friendly welcome at Kirkland Congregational Church. You will be loved, encouraged, and challenged!



Fall Discernment Series

In November 2012, we started working with consultant Kathleen Hosfeld during our Sunday worship times to prepare for the next chapter of our congregational life. In the event that you have not been able to join us, we are providing a summary of the events on the below web pages. This includes all of our handouts and materials used during these sessions. Please see what we have discovered together as we listened to God's call. We also signed a Prayer of Commitment.
