Join us as our Urban Plunge attendees will share their stories and adventures and their commitment to continue their work throughout the year.

:: a special message

We understand that some in California don't believe that God's love is big enough to welcome gays and lesbians. But we believe it is. We believe that God does love everyone, and that's why we welcome everyone, regardless of ethnic or racial heritage, gender, ability, sexual orientation, or economic or political status.

We had hoped Proposition 8 would have been defeated or overturned in the courts and that California would continue to support the marriages of committed people in loving relationships.

But even though it did not pass and remains the law in California, we will continue to perform gay and lesbian weddings in our sanctuary because we believe that all marriages are sacred in the eyes of God.

	At First Christian Church Concord we don't just believe in diversity — we embody it. Among us, on any given Sunday, you will find both young and old, straight and gay, black and white, people with faith to move mountains and folks visiting this crazy thing called "church" for the first time — and virtually everything in between! We welcome you to come and see what it's like when a church goes beyond acceptance to affirmation — when people go beyond talking about God to living out the love of Jesus in their lives. In this community of faith there is a variety of opinions, but UNITY in our quest for an intimate and authentic relationship with the Divine. Join us this Sunday and discover for yourself what being part of a dynamic community of faith feels like. Welcome to everyone! We hope you find peace and uplift in our worship.
