Wild Rose Congregational Church is affiliated with the United Churce of Christ.  We are an Open and Affirming community concerned about eco-justice.  We actively support organizations that reflect our beliefs: we walk in the AIDS walk; we pound nails for Habitat for Humanity; we pull noxious weeds for the Audobun Society; we walk for Housing Justice!; participe Earth Day activities; buy and sell fair trade coffee; and conduct an electronic waste recycling effort each spring. We are generous with contributions to many causes.

Those wishing to be married or joined together by our Pastor must participate in a minimum of one counseling session, usually of 90 minutes duration.  It is strongly recommended that couples seeking a strong foundation for the future take advantage of the opportunity to use the "Prepare/Enrich" premarital inventory.  The cost for scoring of this inventory is $35.  It requires a total of three subsequent counseling sessions.

Members and non-members are welcomed to request the assistance of our Pastor in planning funerals or memorial services for their loved ones.  Our Pastor feels it is very important to include personal information about the deceased in the service.  To that end, she will ask families of non-members to engage in a more lengthy preparation session.  Church members have already participated in much of that preparation.
