COMMUNITY

Welcome to Westhope! We are community of vibrant diversity. Diversity of backgrounds, journeys, and faith walks who EMBRACE ALL PEOPLE OF EVERY COLOR, GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OR STATUS.

We are active and involved in a wide variety of ministries and activities.

Some fun facts about our congregation:

·         Most of us have dogs! (Yes, some have cats too!)

·         A yoga group meets every Wednesday in our social hall.

·         We love gardening – come check out our spiral garden, beautiful year around but especially in the spring.

·         You can donate clothing and shoes at the Muwekma Ohlone People operated clothing depository located in our parking lot.

·         Our causes include anti-racism, confronting Christian nationalism, that black lives matter and many more social justice issues.

We hope you will join us for one of our many events and activities, including our contemplative Sunday worship at 10am. Thank you for visiting our website.
