Members of our community have unconventional ways of “attending church.” Whether restricted by location or health issues or because they prefer a different type of experience, many active participants of our community never step foot through our doors. We encourage you to explore the many ways of being connected to our global community.

• Progressive Leaders

  Our executive minister, Ian Lawton, is not only a native Australian, but has brought greater connection with progressive groups in the US, Canada and the UK.

• Weekly DVDs

  A great way to connect with what’s happening on Sundays at C3 is to order a Weekly DVD subscription. Every Monday we mail a DVD of that week’s Sunday Gathering to several long distance members of our community. If you would like to order a single DVD or sign up for a weekly subscription, please email brad [at] c3exchange [dot] org.

• Podcasts

  We are happy to offer audio podcasts of our weekly prayers and sermons. A podcast is an easy way to automatically download audio files to your MP3 player through your computer.

• Satellites

  Our Satellite Communities are unique to fit the needs of each particular community. The original satellite community was formed by a group of people gathering together to watch a DVD of the Sunday services. If you want to dialogue and converse about progressive spiritual issues, consider creating a Satellite Community in your area.

  Our very first satellite community was formed by a group of people in Benzie County Michigan. They enjoyed our website and connecting to us online; but they also felt the need for a local community, so they started one! “C3 North” meets on Sunday mornings at the Michigan Shores Cooperative in Frankfort, at 641 Michigan Avenue.

  They convene at 9:00, and at 9:30 they turn on the DVD from the previous Sunday, and at about 10:30 they begin the sermon talk-back. If you are ever in the area on a Sunday, you are warmly welcomed to join them! Please contact Beverly Toomey at (231) 352-8004 or Janet Gilbert at (231) 352-4606 for more information.
