I'm looking for Protestant churches in and around Cleveland, any you would recommend? Thanks.


Answer
Tell us more about you. Are you looking for a protestant church that is liberal or conservative. How old are you and where in cleveland area are you? It will help us narrow the options some. In the meantime I'll offer the place I found very welcoming when I was looking for a church home, and a place I still enjoy going back to when I am in the area

I love worshiping at Pilgrim United Church of Christ in Tremont, downtown. They are very community and justice oriented, and welcome everyone. The UCC motto is "no matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey -- you're welcome here."

The church itself is gorgeous - built in the late 1800s with lots of stained glass, including a circular rotunda of glass. (check the pictures of the bldg on their website below!) The building is classic and old fashioned, their ideas are NOT!

They welcome young, old, gay, straight, families, singles, rich, poor, people with disabilities, and just everyone.

In the late 80s they were a dying urban church with about 60 older members who couldnt support the huge structure. They called a young woman pastor who nurturedf the members while growing the church to nearly 400 members!! They are now a vibrant congregation where EVERYONE participates in the outreach of the church. They remodled the beautiful sanctuary and trimmed the arches with hand painted wallpaper borders -- every Tuesday night for a year, members met and painted a professionally designed pattern, so today everyone can claim a part in making the sanctuary beautiful.

The outreach to the needy in the commuinity is sincere. They have a food pantry, a special needs fund, a committment to a 10% tithing mission, and host a homeless "standdown" where tents go up for one or two weekends a year, and services for the city's homeless are available - free haircuts, foot care specialists, health screenings, free food, showers clean clothing closet, new socks & underwear, and mental health counselors.

I love it because after a divorce, I no longer fit the Mom, Dad and two kids mold that was so popular at my church. The programs didn't suit my needs. I felt immediately welcome the minute i walked in the doors of Pilgrim. I visited many times and every time, someone would notice me and welcome me. -- a very rare happening in many churches!

They offer tons of programs, from movie groups & discussions, health screenings and yoga, women's and men's bible groups and spirituality book groups, and youth mission trips.

If you are more conservative, this may not be your piece of birthday cake, but if you want a lively, faithful, Christ following, mission supporting church. Drop in one Sunday!

Grace & Peace !
