Discover what it means to belong.

This All Saints Sunday sermon reflects on the legacy of progressive Christianity, from the founding of New York’s historic Riverside Church to the remarkable individuals who helped shape the Congregational Church of La Jolla. Drawing on the words of Henry Emerson Fosdick’s beloved hymn, “God of Grace, God of Glory,” Rev. Tim considers the courage required to sustain a faith rooted in intellectual freedom, compassion, and social justice.

As our congregation welcomes new members and begins its annual stewardship season, CCLJ explores how communities become something greater than the sum of their parts. Through the gifts, sacrifices, and vision of generations past and present, the work of building a more just and loving world is worth carrying forward.
