From time to time the development of our humanity requires a spirit of renewal. We can observe this in humanity's history. We also know this in our own personal lives. This spirit of renewal helps enliven and strengthen our work, our sense of direction, our lives. Just such a spirit of renewal set in motion the founding of The Christian Community in 1922.
The Christian Community recognizes Christ's deed of life and death as the pivotal renewal in humanity's history. He brought a new relationship between human beings on earth and the beings of the spiritual worlds. Through his indwelling in the sacraments, this revitalizing impulse continues to be available to us individually and in community.
Christ replenishes our life in sacramental community, which in turn offers us as individuals the opportunity to find and connect with his regenerating impulse in our own lives, in the life of the whole of humanity, and in the life of the entire earth.

The Christian Community is an independent sacramental community, without attachment to any existing church or ecumenical movement. It views Christianity as universal and sees its singular greatness as something that should not be distorted by an overemphasis on sectarian teaching or behavioral codes. While The Christian Community does not claim to be a church for everyone, it is certainly not exclusive and welcomes, without regard to race, gender or sexual orientation, all who are looking for a church that combines sacramental integrity with freedom of belief.
