"A Warm and Welcoming Community of Faith"
Join us for live virtual Sunday Worship each week at 10:00 a.m.
Boehm's is an multigenerational church where people come from a variety of faith traditions. We are a warm and inviting congregation--small enough that pretty much everyone knows your name!-- and a community of faith that cares deeply about all who worship here. Sunday morning is the time we gather as God's people to worship God together. We believe that worshiping together is one of the most important practices in our church life. All who seek to discover or nurture a relationship with God are welcome.
Though a smaller church, we are full of energy and excited about expressing our faith not only through worship, but in fellowship and outreach to others. We hope you enjoy your visit through the website and look forward to meeting you at church.
Boehm's Church is an Open and Affirming (ONA) church--a designation within the United Church of Christ that denotes an intentional commitment to being fully welcoming and integrative of the LGBTQIA* community and of parishioners of all ages, races, family constellations, and backgrounds.
All are welcome at Boehm's Church.
Our Church Doors May Be Closed, but Our Hearts are Open!
