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.

What if faith isn’t about having all the right answers, but simply showing up?

Drawing on Jesus’s Parable of the Two Sons and the radical spiritual vision of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Rev. Tim Seery explores what makes our congregation unique: a community where questioning is encouraged, beliefs are diverse, and the sacred can be discovered anywhere.
