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. Find us on: www.gaychurch.org.		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.
