On Sunday, August 11th, we held a Special Congregational Meeting after worship. At that meeting we voted to close our congregation and to distribute our remaining resources to several organizations that align with our values.
These words from our resolution to close the congregation capture well the overall mood during the meeting: "... we the members of Community of ChristChurch, after extensive and prayerful deliberation, have come to believe that the changing context of our ministry and the diminished human resources available to us make it extremely difficult to conduct a sustainable ministry in this location... while we are saddened to face the reality of our congregation’s dissolution and discontinuance, we are thankful to God for the faithful ministry that has been carried out in this place, and trust that God will continue to renew the church here and always...". 
Community of ChristChurch is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

We invite you to join us in a service of remembrance to honor 25+ years of faithful ministry, worship and connections and grieve the loss of their church home. Please pass this invitation on to anyone you know whose story has been intertwined with the story of ChristChurch in any way.
The service will begin at 2pm on Sunday, September 15th, at the Walters Cultural Arts Center in downtown Hillsboro. There will be a catered reception immediately following the service. Please be sure to RSVP to [email protected], or to our Facebook event, https://www.facebook.com/share/tYXK9YbM3WpbzsHn/. |
