Have you ever felt a profound connection to the divine, a yearning for something beyond the everyday? Right here, in this unassuming building on Glenilla Road, a community has been cultivating such spiritual experiences for over a century. This is The Christian Community, a place where people from all walks of life gather to celebrate the sacraments and explore their own spiritual journeys.
Founded in 1922, The Christian Community grew out of a movement inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, a philosopher and spiritualist. Steiner’s influence is evident in the community’s unique worship services, which draw inspiration from both Christian tradition and Anthroposophy, a philosophy that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the physical and spiritual realms.
The heart of The Christian Community’s life is the morning Eucharist, or communion service, known as The Act of Consecration of Man. This service is open to all, regardless of their religious background. It offers spiritual nourishment and peace, enlightenment for daily life, and a sense of belonging within a community striving for the betterment of humanity.
The Christian Community embraces inclusivity. It ordains both men and women as priests. It is a worldwide movement with congregations across many nations. The community is sustained by the financial support and dedication of its members who are committed to its mission of creating a more spiritual and compassionate world.
Whether you seek a deeper connection with your faith or simply yearn for a sense of community and purpose, The Christian Community welcomes you with open arms. Step inside and join the journey, explore the beauty of sacred rituals, and find your own place within the vibrant community of faith.
