“In Woodside As It Is In Heaven”

Woodside Village Church

The Village Hub — and this story corner — is one of the ministries of Woodside Village Church. If a story here made you curious about the people behind the coffee bar, this is them, in their own words.

“We are a community church, built by the people of Woodside, serving God since 1893.”

Their vision

“A Spirit-led community bringing renewal through Christ’s love.”

Their mission: CUE

Community, Unity, Encounter.

Community

“Our church has long served the Woodside community through our coffee, space, and gardens, but we long to grow deeper as a community that follows Jesus.”

Unity

“We seek to stand united around the teachings of Jesus and the truth of Scripture. As one body, we strive to love one another and reach outward in mission together.”

Encounter

“In all we do, we seek to encounter Jesus, who through the Holy Spirit empowers us to love well and live transformed lives.”

“No matter who you are or where you are in life, we hope that you will come and explore the next steps of your journey with us.”

Since 1893

The church was established in 1893, with roots going back to 1889, when Pastor L.D. Rathbone of the Congregational Church of Redwood City started a Sunday school in Woodside. It has been a part of this village for well over a century — which is a long time to keep the door open.

Come say hello

Sunday worship, morning prayer, a weekday Bible study, or simply someone to talk to — the church’s Connect page has all of it, including a form if you’d rather write than walk in.
