Sunday Worship
8:30 & 10:30 a.m.
Church of the Dunes worships on Sunday mornings. The 8:30 a.m. service includes traditional music and worship. At 10:30 a.m., worship includes both modern and traditional elements.
Church of the Dunes offers activities and events to enjoy food, fun, conversation, and much more. There are opportunities to participate in efforts that serve those in need both locally and across the globe.
Christian education opportunities are provided for all ages and stages of life. There is a nursery for the very youngest, and Sunday school classes for children and youth. Each season, there are classes and discussion groups for adults, in addition to ongoing topic-focused discussion groups. Life-long learning, service, and engaging experiences are offered through the Finishing Well ministry for those age 55+.
Church of the Dunes is located in a wooded setting near the Lake Michigan shore. The church building was designed by renown architect Alden Dow to blend into the natural setting. Expansive picture windows provide views of changing seasons and wildlife from the worship space. Behind the building, there is a prayer labyrinth that is open to all. A serene remembrance garden is located next to the labyrinth, under the forest canopy.
