Welcome to Madison Christian Community!
An Ecumenical Partnership
The Madison Christian Community is a unique community rooted in a
groundbreaking partnership between two very different congregations. We
do almost everything together including education for all ages, service
in the wider community, care of our land and our environmental
stewardship efforts. We even worship together regularly throughout the
year. Guests will encounter a vibrant community of faith that values
relationships and community engagement and that actively lives out its
faith every day of the week. Explore our website to learn more about our
two individual congregations and about our partnership efforts and visit
us on Sunday morning.

All are Welcome!
In the Spirit of Jesus, our community
extends welcome to people of all ages, races, abilities, religious and
denominational backgrounds, gender identities and expressions, and
sexual orientations. Advent is a Reconciled in Christ congregation and
Community of Hope is an Open and Affirming congregation.
As a congregation that has committed to
offer sanctuary, we trust in God embracing all of us regardless of
ethnic or national identity, citizenship status, legal standing, or
criminal history.

WE Are the Church
Greetings to you! In these days when we are “Safer at Home” and trying hard not
to spread the virus, there is plenty that is shut down. But even if the building
at 7118 Old Sauk Rd. is unusually quiet for a few weeks, the church is not shut
down! WE are the church! We’re figuring this out, ways to continue to be the
church and share God’s good news, to offer support to each other and our
community and world, to recognize all the positives even as we’re each dealing
with difficulties.
This version of our weekly email
is different than you’re used to. But you’ll see there’s still lots we’re doing
to connect, officially and unofficially. Besides the central moments of worship,
you’ll see new ways to participate in familiar programming, as well as creative
new ideas you might like to try out. And we’re open to your suggestions!
You’ll see that your staff is
still very hard at work, even while much of that is happening under new
circumstances. Anthony is still keeping track of the building with some
occasional physical presence. But you can connect with all of the staff by
email, or leave a voicemail to be retrieved from their office phone. (Those and
other contacts are always available at the bottom of these emails.) Your pastors
are most certainly available for any kind of communication—chatting about the
days, praying through the struggles, sorting through details.
We remind you of all that your
offering support accomplishes as we are church here and far beyond here. Mail is
being gathered daily, so you can remain confident in sending checks by mail
(7118 Old Sauk Rd., Madison, 53717). This would be a great time to check with
your financial institution about direct contributions, and the Finance Committee
is investigating online donation options.
