I count myself lucky to be part of a thriving, vibrant congregation that is meeting real needs in the community and beyond. I can't think of a better environment in which to raise my family and continue on my faith journey. Like so many, I'm drawn to Federated by the things that set this congregation apart--its openness and inclusiveness (including More Light/Reconciling Ministries), its compassion and activism when it comes to helping those in need, its gifted pastors who challenge us to grow in our faith using our minds as well as our hearts.
With Methodist and Presbyterian denominational connections, Federated Church draws seekers from a broad range of faith backgrounds. Worship is liturgical in style, and the 9:15 Sunday contemporary service is geared toward families while the 11:00 traditional service features the magnificent pipe organ.
Federated's programs for children and youth are amazing. Sunday school, youth groups, mission trips, choir, summer camp, and a new once-a-month family service in which the kids lead worship--the list goes on and on.
I also love that this congregation exemplifies putting faith into practice. It has been instrumental in the creation of so many local charities and is very service-focused. read more
