Welcome!
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” ~ John 1:5
Talmadge Hill is an active community of neighbors fulfilling our mission to Know the Love of God and Share it. Grounded in the Christian tradition, we stand as an inclusive place where ALL are invited to participate regardless of orientation or belief. Our music is creative and inspiring. Our teaching and preaching is authentic and relevant. And always, we seek to reach beyond the walls of complacency to respond compassionately to suffering and need. We are excited to share our vision as a committed community of faith.
We currently have one service at 10:00am and sermons will be recorded and available via the link below shortly thereafter.
Our theme for 2024 is BOLD HOPE. Our Christian faith makes the profound distinction between hope and optimism, which is more about an attitude or sometimes just wishful thinking.
HOPE is grounded in our relationship with a good and loving God, who is at work for the healing and restoration of all people and all of creation. Often this is very hard to see. Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann defines hope “as trust in what God has done and will do, in spite of evidence to the contrary.” This is why we need community to encourage us, a healthy image of God to be in a trusted relationship with, and an active spiritual life, so that our worldview becomes more other-centric and less self-referential. We are ALL beloved daughters and sons of a God who promises us that we are never alone. That is a message worthy of great hope.
BOLD HOPE is a unique invitation to participate in the bigger picture. If "the arc of history is long and bends toward justice” (Martin Luther King, Jr.) AND we get to be a part of this incarnational plan, this is a hope that is bold, and courageous, and humble.
