God the Potter
We launch our new sermon series on the many images used for God in Scripture by taking a look at two passages from the prophets that describe God as a potter while we are the clay. Thankfully we are never a finished product, hardened by the fires of the kiln. Instead, we remain moldable so that God can always work on us and shape us into something new.

Beyoncé & the Story of Shiphrah & Puah
In an unabashed Girl Power sermon, Pastor Jen recounts the story of five brave and subversive women who save the day when Pharaoh oppresses the Hebrew people. If a few women with big ideas liberate a whole nation, what can each of us do in our contexts to create more equality, freedom, and justice for everyone?

Britney Spears & the Story of Samson & Delilah
Our third Scriptures that Pop sermon series combines the music of Britney Spears with the story of Samson and Delilah. Pastor Jacob shares that there is so much more to both the life of Britney Spears and the story of Samson and Delilah than people usually talk about. Still, there are aspects to both that are messy, just like our own lives. Thankfully, we worship a God who is always with us in the mess.
Customer Reviews
Worth your time
CUCC is a very generous and welcoming church. Sunday services are sincere and thoughtful, and the congregation has people of all ages and backgrounds.
All are welcome
I have been attending Claremont United Church of Christ for around three years now. Most people know my daughter who often has valuable input when Pastor Laurel is presenting the sermon on the stairs. (speaking to all of our Sunday school participants).
Pastor Laurel is kind and gracious as she redirects my outgoing daughter. Pastor Laurel is always ready with a smile and hug for the kids. It's evident that one of the missions of Claremont United Church of Christ is to learn everyone's names. Within two weeks of attending both Pastors Jen and Jacob addressed my family by name. Pastors Jen and Jacob are both very approachable and are dripping with empathy and compassion. The sermons are always insightful and entertaining, it's amazing to see the personalities of these two beautiful people shine through from the pulpit.
If you can imagine your safe place, a place that provides you with smiles, wisdom, and acceptance no matter what stage of life you are experiencing. That would look very similar to attending Claremont United Church of Christ. I absolutely love that our congregation prides itself on accepting everyone. Even more importantly I constantly see Claremont United Church of Christ reaching out to our community both in a spiritual and practical way.
I could go on and on about Claremont United Church of Christ. The amazing sermon series, Choir, Childrens Ministry, Adult Ministry, Holiday Events. However, I think it would be best if you stopped on by. You just might see a plus sized man with a grey beard chasing around a 4-year-old dressed as Elsa. We would love to say hi to you.
Thought provoking and inspirational
I always learn something and am uplifted.
