About our 10:00 a.m. Gathering

Our main community gathering is the integration of the diversity and evolution of our individual spiritual paths. Through carefully crafted liturgies; the pairing of biblical and contemporary readings; a variety of musical styles; expression of the arts through poetry, dance, and visual imagery; and a uniquely distinctive progressive message; we seek to create an open space for all to explore being human, being love.

This service is well suited for families as it features a short children’s message, nursery care, children’s program and youth program. This service runs for one hour and is followed by our sermon talk-back session. The 10:00 a.m. gathering is not only experienced by those in attendance in Spring Lake, but is also viewed on DVD by satellite groups and individuals around the world seeking an alternative to church as usual.
