We need photos of your congregation’s meeting place!

We are building the new find-a-congregation directory that will be part of a redesigned Community of Christ website (coming soon). The directory will include a photo of your location/church building along with the congregation information. Submissions need to be sharp, high-resolution photos, framed as a landscape (horizontal) with sky and ground showing. This will allow for any necessary cropping. E-mail photos along with your congregation’s name, address, mission center, and pastor name(s).

Camp Mungai

4:00 PM on Sunday, August 10 – Noon on Saturday, August 16

For Boys & Girls Entering Grades 5-6

Theme: Sharing The Peace of Jesus

Camp Mungai is a week-long adventure where campers have the opportunity to share in the love and peace of Jesus. We will spend time as a community in song, cooking some of our own food, doing crafts, eating, sleeping--a little, running, canoeing, campfires, being in the outdoors and having lots of fun.

Special items to Bring: White t-shirt to tie-dye and lots of energy.

Co-Directors: Laura Fish – 206-909-0174/ Karen Powers – 253-230-1444

Child Protection Training

in BC

If you’ve taken the Registered Youth Worker training as recently as two years ago, please note that our policies and procedures have been updated.  It’s important that everyone take this training, even if you never intend to teach a children’s class or be a camp counselor.  We owe it to our children to be informed and have all of the current education available.

Registered Youth Worker Application

(to be filled out with your Pastor in advance)

The Community of Christ shares its Enduring Principles through all aspects of life. The Worth of all Persons, Blessings of Community, Pursuit of Peace and Responsible Choices are all components especially pertinent to this life experience.
