A Reconciling Congregation

At Dumbarton, all truly means ALL. We are a welcoming and inclusive faith community, committed to full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals since 1987. We believe that love is love, and that every person is created in God's image and is a beloved child of God.

Featured Events

  • Advent 2025

    Starting November 30

    This Advent, we insist on hope—hope that trembles is still hope. Join us as we journey toward the birth of Christ with courage, honesty, and resilience.

  • Advent Bible Study: "Calling All Angels!"

    Tuesdays, Dec 2, 9, 16 & 23
    7-8:15 pm on zoom 
    Led by Rev. Rachel 

    Calling All Angels asks us to contemplate what would change in our relationships, vocations, congregations, and communities if we have the courage to overcome our fears like Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, and the Shepherds in the story.

  • Godly Play

    Sundays, During Worship

    Preschool and elementary age kids are invited to Godly Play each Sunday to grow in faith through stories, art, and wonder.
