Worship: Sunday Morning — 10:30 a.m. Nursery Available — 10:15 through 11:45 a.m. Choir Practice — Thursday, 6:30 p.m. Who We Are Tehachapi Community Congregational is a warm, diverse and welcoming
church. With a membership of about 100 adults and children, the congregation
tends to be close-knit, with each member knowing nearly all the others, but
it’s also well known for being a friendly group, freely welcoming newcomers.
Theologically, the congregation is consistent with the United Church of
Christ, with which it has been affiliated since 1958. There are no
constraints, for example, on who may take communion; it’s left to the conscience
of each worshipper. Established in 1921, the main church
building—our sanctuary—was built in 1928. Thus, during this year of 2008, we
are celebrating our 80th year of continuous use of the sanctuary. It was
illustrated in a 1996 painting by Helen McAllister, reproduced above and used
with permission. With only modest changes over the years, our sanctuary is
quaint and homey … we love it! With a seating capacity of 100 and an average
worship service attendance of about 60 to 70 persons, there’s plenty of room
for you and your family! (This Page Was Last
