Advent 2024
Advent is a season of endings and beginnings. As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year begins. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving; and yet, the world as we know it spins madly on. In many ways, pregnant Mary was surrounded by endings—large and small, personal and political. But Mary proclaimed hope in a God who was and is making all things new. Christ’s birth offered a beautiful new beginning for shepherds and Magi alike—all the while, King Herod tried to bring Christ’s story to an end. When we ourselves navigate seasons filled with endings and beginnings, we need reminders. We need words that can feel like steady ground, like a path for our feet to find as we step forward into the unknown.
Come join us as we celebrate the season of Advent and explore the words of promise that God bestows upon us.

What to Expect at Worship
Sunday worship is a central focus of our Genesis congregation. It is here that we connect with God and each other. We embrace a progressive theology and challenge ourselves to grow our faith and understanding of God. We listen for God’s word, we sing and we pray together.
Worship is led each week by a member of the congregation, our music team and our pastor. One of the benefits of a smaller congregation is that we all actively participate and often have discussions about the sermon within the worship service. This is how we share and expand our learning.
Our Values
Activist – We embrace: lay leadership; preaching as dialogue; taking discipleship seriously; active, engaged participation; joyous life in Christ.
Equality – The Presbyterian Church USA recognizes the ordination of all. We believe in the equality of all in leadership of worship, prayer, preaching and serving.
Open and Affirming – We rejoice in the diversity of God’s children. Everyone is welcome and embraced at Genesis Church.
God Elsewhere Too – God is one. It is also true that God is doing God’s saving work through numerous other traditions. We can respect, learn from, and celebrate all faith traditions without diminishing our own.
Science and Scripture – Genesis studies the Bible in partnership with the modern world of science to fully grasp the powerful, guiding and changing force of God’s word wherever it is found.
