Who We Are

For nearly a century, Garden City Community Church has been part of the life of Garden City.

 

Generations have gathered here to worship, celebrate, grieve, raise families, build friendships, and find community through the many seasons of life.

A Faith That Invites Questions

We are a congregation of the United Church of Christ (UCC), rooted in the Christian tradition and committed to the belief that faith is not something we simply inherit, but something we continue to explore, question, and live.

​

At the heart of our life together is the story of Jesus Christ—a story that continues to challenge how we understand love, justice, mercy, and our responsibility to one another. We take Scripture seriously, not because we believe every question has an easy answer, but because we believe these ancient texts still have something to say to the world we inhabit today. Our Christian faith is not a demand for certainty, but an invitation to live with courage, compassion, and curiosity.

There's Room for Everyone Here

As an Open and Affirming congregation, we welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ people in the full life of our church.

 

We believe that meaningful community makes room for differences in background, experience, perspective, and belief. You don't have to think like everyone else to find yourself part of something here.

Rooted in History.

Looking Ahead.

Our history is one of worship, service, education, and care for the wider community. We value the relationships built across generations, the traditions that have shaped us, and the responsibility we share for what comes next.

​

And while we are proud of where we've been, we are equally interested in where we might go.

Our history matters to us. So does what comes next.
