Our Vision
To be a church of inclusiveness of all persons, service to our island neighbors, peacemaking and reconciliation, and environmental stewardship of our island and the earth.
Join us Sundays at 9:30 AM
Every Sunday the Guemes Island Community Church curates a unique and enriching experience by featuring diverse speakers. With a commitment to fostering an inclusive and thought-provoking environment, the church invites individuals from various backgrounds to share their insights, wisdom, and perspectives. This new tradition ensures that each Sunday morning brings fresh ideas, inspiring messages, and a sense of unity to the congregation and visitors alike.
Covenant
One: In a spirit of hope, thanksgiving, and acceptance…
All: We covenant with God to respect each other by accepting our differences. We further covenant to care for each other in our joys and sorrows, inviting the Spirit of Christ to act within us, wherever we may be on our journey of faith. AMEN!

Statement
The Guemes Island Community Church, United Church of Christ, stands with both the Jewish and Palestinian people, and we oppose growing anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim rhetoric and gatherings. We recognize and affirm the rights of both communities to exist, thrive, and live in peace. We support neither governmental efforts to marginalize specific populations, nor violent terrorist activities that target specific communities while bypassing the social and political processes that are fundamental to creating lasting and meaningful change. We hope this statement will encourage other concerned communities of faith and conscience to make their own public witness for justice and compassion.
