WELCOME

 

We are a progressive, open and affirming congregation in the heart of the Ozarks that is seeking to build community, justice, and love.

open & affirming

We celebrate and affirm the full humanity, equality, and dignity of all people, including LGBTQ+ individuals.

community

We seek to build meaningful relationships with one another in the spirit of Christ’s love. We journey beside one another through the ups and downs of life, laughing together, weeping together, and being there for one another in times of deepest need.

justice

We stand in solidarity with and for those oppressed due to economic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other reason and work for a world where all are treated with the dignity and respect that God’s love demands.

love
God is love. We are guided by the principle of love and all that we teach and do is with the intent of drawing nearer to the perfect and unconditional love made known to us in Jesus Christ.

“If love is the only measure, then the only measure of love is love without measure.”

loving god
loving others
We can only love God only as much as we love others. Our church encourages people to engage in community to strengthen one another, the church and the world around us. This is a team effort and we’d love for you to be part of it.
“The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.” – Coretta Scott King

“On our very first visit 5 years ago, both the Welcome message at the beginning of service and the Benediction at the end had me in tears and I knew we had found the church home we longed to raise our children in.”

Jeanie S.
“I knew I needed a church that followed Christ’s example of love and grace for all, intolerance of corruption and oppression, and ministry to poor and marginalized communities. Brentwood’s record of social justice and activism speaks volumes to me. I couldn’t imagine a better fit.”
Cory G.

“I’ve attended church all my life, but I’ve never been part of a church that extends the kind of welcome, hospitality, and grace that I’ve experienced at Brentwood. It truly is a place where all are welcome and all belong.”

Betsy B.

“Never have I felt more at home in a church… We always surround one another with love, so we have the support we need to grow.”
