The Candler Community: You belong here.
Cookie-cutter sameness is not a Candler characteristic. Our community is intentionally diverse in myriad ways—age, race, culture, denomination, theological perspective, and vocational call, to name a few. As we build community, we seek to understand how we’re similar, how we’re different, and most of all, to see the face of Christ in one another.
Worship and Spiritual Formation
There are scores of opportunities to grow spiritually at Candler. One of the most dynamic is through worship. The community gathers for main chapel services on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Evensong on Wednesdays, and Eucharist on Fridays. With 40+ denominations represented among us, we worship together in many different styles and traditions, and God never fails to bless in both familiar and new ways.
