Harry's Tour of Livermore Churches
Send pastoral changes or broken web links to [[email protected]] - Last checked 7/5/2022
There are FORTY worship centers in LIVERMORE where there is a style or theology that fits everyone. Yet less than 10% of the population could attend if all were filled, conservative or liberal. To change that, I offer this partial list of Livermore ministries for your consideration. This partial list reflects my traditional/conservative Christian theology.
It takes FOUR months to make this tour. Arrive early for Adult Small Groups as the best way to feel the church pulse and to make a quick friend who can explain worship procedures. Expect awkwardness on your part. Most members gladly assist if you look willing. Identify yourself as a visitor. This is a good conversation starter after the worship service.
Communion modes vary. While most offer communion to all, the same rule applies, namely that you intend to lead the Christian life offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Some will pass up communion when wrestling with forgiveness and should not be taken lightly. Follow the local protocol of the specific congregation.

Some small congregations have no office staff or they rent temporary space. Check their web sites for current data.
