We gather,
our different paths entwined,
to deepen our spiritual lives:
nourishing connection,
learning from each other,
caring for each other,
tending to our world.

Meet Our Ministers

Rev. Peter Farriday joins us for two years starting in August 2025 to help us discern our main needs and challenges, goals and desires, and together lay a solid foundation for the future, thriving with a new longer-term minister.

Rev. Catherine (Cat) Boyle joined us in 2022. Embracing wonder, embracing curiosity and embracing life is her credo. Cat's background in theater shows up in her creativity in religious education, and infuses her worship with energy.

Learn about all our ministers here.

Justice Partner

Justice Partner - Day Worker Center of Mountain View

The Justice Partner for August is Day Worker Center of Mountain View

The Day Worker Center of Mountain View connects day laborers and local employers in a safe, reliable environment. Beyond job matching, the Center provides essential support and growth opportunities, empowering workers to improve their socioeconomic condition through a variety of classes such as ESL and legal rights, as well as hands-on training in technology and job skills. Workers can also enjoy a hot, healthy breakfast and lunch six days a week. Since 1996, the Center has been committed to worker-led advocacy and community service. Our vision is a world of diverse communities where day workers live with full rights and responsibilities in an environment of mutual respect, peace and harmony.

Our vision is a world of diverse communities where day laborers live with full rights and responsibilities in an environment of mutual respect, peace and harmony.  Since 1996, we have remained committed to worker-led advocacy and community service.

We gather on unceded, stolen land of the Tamien and Ramaytush people. We acknowledge these communities in the interest of truth and justice, awareness and gratitude. In order to dismantle the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, we pledge to join the Tamien and Ramaytush people whenever they ask us for solidarity.
