Upcoming Events

For the past year and a half, we at College Church have been involved in a parish racial equity review, a process by which every aspect of our parish life is scrutinized to understand how systemic racism is being preserved. We’ve undertaken this review in partnership with Crossroads Antiracism Organizing and Training, with whom we’ve been in a relationship since 2018. A critical component of the review is a parish survey.  It is an opportunity for all members of our community to share your perspective and experience.  Your participation will help us begin to realize our parish vision of becoming an antiracist parish and, more importantly, to more fully live our faith. 

If you have already submitted the survey, we thank you. If you have not, this is the last week it will be available. It will take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous.  You can access the digital version of the survey via this link https://bit.ly/SFXequity, or by clicking the bar below. Paper copies of the survey can be found this weekend in the back of church and at the Lindell entrance. There is a box in the vestibule for depositing the completed paper surveys.
