Yes. Persons identifying as LGBTQ+ are welcome at WCF. Gender identity and sexual orientation bar no one from participating fully in the life of our congregation. We are glad for all who come to worship God and share their gifts as we seek to know, follow and serve Jesus together. We have a variety of beliefs and convictions about sexuality and gender. We are neither thoroughly “affirming" nor thoroughly “traditional" as a faith community.  Read about WCF's Third Way Approach to LGBTQ Inclusion here.

Children are a welcome part of the WCF community! 

Children under 2 years old may be checked in to the nursery on the third floor (Room 300) at any time during the service.

Children ages 2 through 5th grade join the congregation in a time of praise and singing, then they are dismissed to their classes. Middle schoolers meet the second and fourth Sundays of the month for spiritual nurture and fellowship.

For families visiting for the first time, pre-register each of your children to speed up check-in when you arrive. Simply enter your phone number at the check-in station when you arrive.

Worship at WCF is a blend of traditional and contemporary music, celebration, teaching and sharing.

There are opportunities for spiritual nurture for children, youth, and adults both during the worship service and during the Second Hourdirectly after the worship service. Read more about our children's program and our youth program. And read about our ongoing ministries, which include several different options for adults. 

There is no dress code and you will see a variety of styles. You will meet some people dressed up in their “Sunday best” and others dressed casually. Wear what’s comfortable for you and come with an honest and open heart.

WCF seeks to be a welcoming and safe place for those in the congregation with life-threatening allergies to latex, fragrance, and nuts. Read here for more information.
