What to Expect at The Community Church
Thanks for checking out the Community Church of Sebastopol - you probably have many questions, we try to answer some of them here. Please contact us with any other questions you may have.
We are located at 1000 Gravenstein Hwy North in Sebastopol. Here you can find a map and detailed directions.
As you turn onto Danmar Drive off of Gravenstein Hwy, we have a large parking lot immediately to the right. Or you can turn left into the church campus for handicap parking and additional parking closer to the church buildings.
Please come as you are! You will find everything from the occasional suit and tie to jeans and flip flops.

Our music is mostly traditional, but with a twist. Congregational singing is led primarily with piano, but sometimes with organ or even guitar. Our Chancel Choir sings a variety of genres in a variety of languages, from American gospel to Ukrainian classical. Our Handbell Ensemble players constantly challenge themselves to present pieces that are uplifting and profound. Youth Ensembles and Children’s Choirs share music during the seasons of Advent and Lent. Over the summer, soloists and small ensembles share music from sacred and popular sources.
