What To Expect
Sunday Mornings — Let's Worship God Together!
Community Spirit Church is currently offering a hybrid worship experience.
In-Person Worship
Twice a month, we gather in person starting at 11:00 AM in the Chipeta meeting room at the Ute Indian Museum (17253 Chipeta Road, Montrose).
We enjoy a casual but reverent atmosphere by sitting at round tables of 6-8 people. During our worship service, we sing two or three simple songs or hymns, offer prayers of gratitude and concerns that are weighing on our hearts, and listen to a thought-provoking message by Pastor Karen.
Another favorite part of most services is called “Spirit Sightings,” where anyone is encouraged to share a recent experience that has helped them see God in others.
Online Worship
On other Sundays, we meet on the Zoom platform for an online worship service. Log in between 10:15 and 10:25 AM.
Worship begins at 10:30 AM. All you need is a phone or a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone and a weekly email from Pastor Karen with the link to follow. (Reach out to Pastor Karen to request the current link.)
If you are curious about what the online service is like, you can request a link to the recording of our latest one.
Real. Relevant. Relational.
We’re so glad that you’re considering paying a “virtual visit” to Community Spirit Church!
We know it can be challenging to enter a new community, especially during these uncertain times, but we hope you’ll find a friendly welcome and comfortable atmosphere when you join us. Community Spirit UCC is a small congregation of singles and families, elders and young folks, dyed-in-the-wool churchgoers, and people who are new to their faith journey and to the church—all coming together to encounter a loving and accepting God.
We hope this page will answer some of your questions, but we believe that the best way to get to know us is, well, to get to know us.
We are a progressive community of faith in the heart of Colorado’s western slope.
Relaxed Atmosphere
True to the style of western Colorado, attire is generally casual, ranging from t-shirts and jeans to jackets and ties. Please dress in what is most comfortable for you.
Guests will not be singled out but will be given the opportunity to quietly observe and engage however they feel led. Please feel free to introduce yourself to others as you arrive.
Children
We love having children in our worship gatherings. They are always welcome and are considered to be as vital to the Community Spirit family as anyone.
Discussions
Our messages are designed to be interactive in nature, so it is not uncommon for a few moments to be set aside throughout the teaching to discuss what is being talked about. This serves as an opportunity to engage as a community while exploring how the teaching applies to our individual and corporate lives.
Offerings
Like many other churches, giving financial support for the ministries that God has called us to is a part of our worship. Our guests are not expected to give, but you are free to do so if you choose. You can donate by check (payable to Community Spirit Church), or make an online donation at communityspiritucc.org/give. Please include your name and address if you would like a tax-deductible statement sent to you at the end of the year.
Welcome Card
Normally, we would have “welcome cards” available for you to fill out and leave in the collection plate, but until we are able to gather in person every week, we ask that you share your contact information with us on our virtual form.
Fellowship Time
After the worship service concludes, you are invited to stay online and visit so we can get to know you better.
If you have any questions before attending a worship service, please feel free to call or text Pastor Karen at 970-765-7070 or send an email to revkaren@communityspiritucc.org.
