Welcome!

Mayflower is your place!

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome at Mayflower Church. We are an Open and Affirming, Peace with Justice, Earthwise, Immigrant-Welcoming, and Addiction Recovery Supporting congregation.

Helpful info

• Worship is in person at 8:30 and 11 am on Sundays and is livestreamed at 11 am. Summer services are at 10:00am in person and livestreamed.
• From September-May, we offer education for all ages at 9:45 am. Learn more here.
• Come as you are – wear whatever and sit wherever you like!
• Be sure to stop by the welcome desk for a name tag and to get answers to any questions from our friendly greeters.
• The worship bulletin will guide you through the service. Large print bulletins and sound amplifying devices are available.
• Mayflower is handicap accessible, with an entrance ramp and accessible restrooms on all floors. A gender neutral bathroom with baby changing table is located near the church office.

Worshipping with children

• Children are welcome to worship with their families.
• If your child comes to worship service with you, please know that activity bags, children’s bibles and books are located at the back of the Sanctuary. The Narthex, just outside the Sanctuary doors, is part of our worship space and a welcome place for families with restless children.
• Our service includes a sermon and prayer time, when we keep silence for a couple of minutes. Our congregation enjoys this quiet time, but if your young child becomes restless, especially during those times, it can be helpful to use the Narthex as an extension of the Sanctuary.
• If you prefer, childcare is available during all worship services in room 210 on the second level of the education wing. Trained staff and volunteers provide care for children ages 6 months to 5 years.
• The Parent Resource Room (room 100) is available for parents who need a quiet space to nurse, soothe or spend a few moments apart from Sunday morning activities. The room is equipped with overhead speakers so that parents can hear the worship service.

“At Mayflower, I am challenged to see church as more of a place to get involved more than a place to just show up on Sundays.” – Paul, new member

Mayflower Church requires no creedal affirmation or doctrinal assent for membership. We do ask all who join to “own” with us the following covenant, rooted in our Congregational history:

Affirming the sovereignty of Christ, we covenant with God and one another, binding ourselves in God’s presence, to walk together in all God’s ways, as they are made known to us in the words of scripture, the traditions of the church, and in our continuing search for meaning and truth.
