LCC has a long-standing connection with LifeMoves, especially through its monthly lunch service at the Redwood City Navigation Center. Each monthly visit is a chance to share food, fellowship, and compassion with those navigating challenging transitions. We’re assembling a team of 6-10 people to prepare and serve lunch at the new center, which boasts a full commercial kitchen. We’ll meet at the Navigation Center at 11:30 a.m. You will find this hands-on activity rewarding! Please RSVP to amy@ladera.org to join us.

Worship is the heart of our community life. Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. in the sanctuary and online via Zoom. All ages are invited. LCC worship is a joyful celebration of God’s presence among us. We find inspiration, renewal, and refreshment through song and silence, prayer, and reflection. We seek to integrate the arts – music, drama, and visual – to enrich the worship experience. Worship continues in the many ways we seek, serve, and grow in the world.

We serve communion on the first Sunday of every month. All are welcome to the table!
