Filled with an awareness of God’s presence and desiring to give God the glory that God deserveour worship will  include lively music an inspiring message and a Communion Table.

At Whosoever, we believe that the invitation to receive communion is an invitation to God’s Table, and that it is not the province of  human beings to interfere between an individual and God. Therefore, we offer an open communion table. We do not require an explicit affirmation of  Christianity from the communicant before  receiving the elements. Our table is open to whosoever (our neighbor).

  • Our Christian neighbors
  • Our neighbors with other faith beliefs
  • Our neighbors of all sexual orientations
  • Our neighbors of various gender identities
  • Our conservative neighbors
  • Our liberal neighbors
  • Our neighbors of many ages
  • The clean and the addicted
  • The employed and the unemployed
  • The realist and the dreamer

Our worship both virtual and in-person is for Whosoever!
