Everyone Needs a Place

WE HOPE YOU FIND YOURS HERE

Here is a place that is ancient and new, a faith that we hold going back to Jesus, back to his spiritual ancestors, back to those who walked the earth and found holy ground. And what we do is often based on really ancient patterns—worship and music; loving service to the poor, the hurting, the lonely; working for justice and peace; lively, fearless education and formation of minds and souls. And that faith is also completely contemporary, engaged in the culture and the needs of the moment.

WHAT WE ARE FOR

The dignity and worth of every person. An open minded, passionate commitment to truth. The importance of everyone’s own spiritual journey. God’s friends wherever we find them. Seeking Christ in every person who comes through the door. The sacredness of life’s rites of passage. The value of community. The hard work necessary to make sure that all are welcomed. Telling the truth about life’s challenges. A “user-friendly” church experience. Children, youth and families. We believe that God is love, and we pray that God will use us to spread that love.

WHAT WE ARE AGAINST

Claiming to have all the answers. Elitism and exclusivism, especially in church. Bigotry for any reason. Authoritarianism. Indifference to injustice and suffering. Certitude in the face of ambiguity and superficial answers to hard question. Boring sermons, bad music and general cluelessness. (So, God help us, because we don’t always avoid these!)

WHAT WE VALUE

Community, open hearts, open minds, open arms. Faith. Fortitude. Staying current, but equally staying rooted in tradition. Reason and honesty. Civic responsibility. Debate that allows for mutual respect. Music and beauty for their own sake. Joy in God’s creation.
Anyone who makes an effort to get to know and follow Jesus.

Sunday mornings at St. Dunstan’s is the time when the community gathers together to worship and praise God! Services of Holy Eucharist happen at 8am (Rite II, no music) and at 10am (Rite II with organ & choir), followed by coffee and connection! We also gather on Wednesday mornings for a more intimate service with conversation, reflection and communion. Any time you are unable to join us in person, head on over to St. Dunstan’s Live, where you can join us for our 10am service, live-streamed on YouTube. You’ll also find our latest sermons and past services on our St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church Carmel Valley YouTube Channel. And, once a month we gather for Church for All Generations — a time of theme-based fellowship and activities for all ages!
