About our Worship Experience
Our Sunday Worship Service begins at 10:45 AM (Central Time). We gather in our sanctuary, and online approximately fifteen minutes prior to the start of the service in meditation and reflection. Soft music is played during this period. The Worship Service is about sixty minutes long. We are an inclusive, affirming Christian Church located in Topeka, Kansas, where visitors are welcome to all services.
How should I dress for a worship Service?
Dress comfortably. Some who attend our services wear t-shirts, shorts and sandals; others wear "business casual" while others wear their "Sunday best". Because we recognize and promote the "Worth of All Persons" a Community of Christ Enduring Principle; please do not wear garments with demeaning art work or language.
Topeka Community of Christ believes in the power of community and strives to create a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Topeka Community of Christ practices full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ members and friends and full access to all the sacraments of the church including ordination and marriage.
We value inclusivity and affirm the worth of all people, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that may make them feel marginalized.
Topeka Community of Christ is a great place to bring your family. Our services are open to all, whether you are a long-time member of our congregation or a first-time visitor. We believe that every person has something unique to contribute to our community and we welcome the diverse perspectives and experiences that each individual brings.
Meaningful Worship
Worship services at Topeka Community of Christ are meaningful and thought-provoking. The services are designed to inspire and challenge members to grow in their faith and to apply it to their daily lives.
We follow the Revised Common Lectionary for our worship ministry. Each week, we reflect on a passage from one of the Gospels and center our worship experience around it. Some would refer to this as a Traditional Christian Worship format, however our worship format is not prescribed.

Worship also provides us with a sense of community and connection. It allows us to come together and support one another, both in times of celebration and in times of hardship. Through worship, we are reminded of our shared values and our commitment to living a life that reflects those values.
We Enter God’s Presence
through Worship Gathering to worship makes us aware of God’s abundant grace that is with us not only in worship but in each moment of living. Through worship and the sharing of sacraments, congregations become sacramental offerings for the blessing, healing, and peace of creation.
We explore and experience worship through varied styles of music, drama, scripture, preaching, prayers, sacred stories, meditation, spiritual practices and sacraments.
When we gather for worship, we open ourselves up to experiencing the abundant grace of God. The act of coming together as a congregation allows us to share in the sacraments, which serve as a reminder of God's presence in our lives. As we partake in these sacraments, we become sacramental offerings for the blessing, healing, and peace of creation.
“Look especially to the sacraments to enrich the spiritual life of the body. Seek for greater understanding of my purposes in these sacred rites and prepare to receive a renewed confirmation of the presence of my Spirit in your experiences of worship.” D&C 158:11c The sacraments refresh, renew, and challenge us to continue on Christ’s mission, our mission, for the sake of all creation.
Through the sacraments, we discover the presence of God everywhere and realize that all life is sacred.
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20 NRSV Gathering to worship is a powerful and transformative experience that connects us to God's grace, to one another, and to the world around us. Through worship and the sharing of sacraments, we become agents of healing and peace, working towards a better future for all. We invite you to join with us.
