Welcome to the United Church of Santa Fe!

As part of the United Church of Christ, a progressive and liberal Protestant tradition, the United Church of Santa Fe is a “uniting” as well as united church. We welcome people from many different backgrounds. Deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, we also affirm God’s inclusive love for all people, regardless of race, color, or creed.

Every Sunday morning--and in the week between--we seek to live out that love through engaging worship, inspiring music, education for all ages, and outreach to the wider community.

Our Children’s and Youth Ministries provide opportunities for our younger members to explore the Christian faith and find its meaning for their lives. They also put their faith to action through Outreach Ministries such as The Homeless Shelter or "Kits for Haiti."

Our Adult Education Ministries include our Sunday Adult Forums and a number of study and fellowship groups (e.g., The Pretty Good Guys, Wednesday Women’s Book Study, Bible Study, Sleepless in Santa Fe, GLBT Gathering, and the “Swinging Seniors”).

We invite you to explore life and faith with us!

Blessings,

Rev. Talitha Arnold and Rev. Brandon Johnson

CHILDREN’S & YOUTH MINISTRY

Sunday Creation Care!
Sundays at 10:00 AM

While the adults join in the 10:00 a.m. service, elementary age children are invited to tend to God’s good earth, grow their own vegetables, learn songs and stories about creation, and even meet some special guests (like snakes and raptors). It happens every Sunday. Please bring your kids dressed to dig in the garden, with hats and plenty of sunscreen.

Labor Day Sunday

Shaping Evil, Shaping Good

This Sunday
September 5, 10:00 a.m.

The prophet Jeremiah witnesses a potter reshape clay into something desirable and good. Jeremiah compares God to a potter and the nation of Israel to clay. On Labor Day Sunday, it is fitting that we encounter a text about God imagined as shaper, laborer, and worker. We are all workers in some way. What are ways that we can be fashioned to be vessels of good? How will we allow God to shape our lives?

Pet Parade

Saturday, September 11

It’s the best part of Fiesta! All kids and pets (including stuffed animals) are invited to join in the fun. We’ll meet in the parking lot behind the Cathedral at 9:00 a.m. The parade starts at 10:00 a.m. and lasts approximately an hour. (Where else can you see your Senior Minister in a moose hat?) (What kind of animal should our Associate Minister be?) Let us know if you can come! 988-3295.
