Lafayette Christian Church

About this church

Lafayette Christian Church is a Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) congregation in Lafayette, California, founded in 1959. It has identified as Open and Affirming since the 1970s and explicitly includes women, men, nonbinary people, and LGBTQIA people in membership, leadership, baptism, Communion, ordination, marriage, and youth participation. The congregation values discussion, differences, compassion, and reconciliation. In Disciples practice, weekly Communion is open to all who believe, adult baptism is offered to mature believers, and the local church retains autonomy while participating in regional and national denominational life.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. at 584 Glenside Drive, with a Zoom option and recordings available online. The church’s invitation is to come as you are. Children’s and youth education, music, fellowship, and member-led ministry extend congregational life beyond the service. The choir ordinarily participates on Sundays outside the summer season and rehearses Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. Women’s groups gather for spiritual reading, conversation, and mutual support; men’s groups meet monthly for breakfast or open discussion. Since choir participation and many small groups follow seasonal or monthly patterns, check the current church calendar before planning around them.
