Special Events

Every two years, General Synod brings together faithful members of the United Church of Christ for inspirational worship, fellowship with friends (old and new), and public witness including through engagement with the business of the church.

In July 2025, we are excited to welcome thousands from across the country for General Synod 35 in Kansas City, Missouri.  Together, we will discern resolutions of witness, church structure, and function. We will celebrate our faith. And we will join in spirit-filled worship each day.

Please keep our volunteers in your prayers as they travel to Kansas City this week!

Open and Affirming Grief and Loss Support Group on the 3rd Thursdays of the month, 6-7pm.

This is a one-hour support group for anyone going through loss or grief: it could be loss from a death, loss of a relationship, employment, or a difficult diagnosis, etc.

Next meeting is July 17th.

Camp Prism is an overnight camp in Guthrie for lgbt+ youth ages 13-17. This year the camp will be July 21-25, and cost is $350 although they do have scholarships. Scan the QR code for more info. They also are looking for volunteer counselors who are 18+. Find more info at their website here.

2025 is our Cathedral of Hope 25th Anniversary! To celebrate, we would like to ask EACH PERSON to either… 1) make a SHORT video saying why COH is important to you, or share 1 memory from our history together, or 2) write a paragraph saying why COH is important to you/and or share a memory. If you have a photo from back in the day, send it to Pastor Kayla! We will post these on our social media sites all year long!

In a world where loneliness is an epidemic, building relationships and connecting to community is more important than ever. In an effort to build a more connected Kansas-Oklahoma Conference, churches across our two states will be hosting a series of Holy Conversations this fall. Between the weekends of August 23 and October 19, you will have the opportunity to travel and gather with other members of the UCC to break bread, engage in some type of worship, and connect with old friends and new. Keep an eye out for registration on the KO website (kocucc.org); signups will begin after General Synod 35 in July.
