We invite you to join us for our next Alpenglow Evening Service on Sunday, April 19—a peaceful, contemplative time to slow down, breathe, and reconnect before we begin a new week.

Alpenglow is part of the ongoing rhythm of our community, offering a quieter space for music, prayer, and reflection in God’s presence. Whether you come regularly or are joining for the first time, you are always welcome!

Alpenglow takes place on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.

Sunday, April 19
5:00 – 5:30 pm – Light snacks & connection
5:30 – 6:30 pm – Evening worship

Come as you are, and join us for this meaningful time together.  ALL are welcome!

Truckee friends, we’re reviving something special at Church of the Mountains. For years, our Peace Pole has stood as a quiet landmark at our entrance—now, it’s time to gather around it once again.

We’re inviting everyone—and we truly mean everyone—to join us for a brief, interfaith Community Peace Gathering. In a world that often feels loud and divided, this is a simple, unifying nonpolitical moment to slow down and signify our shared commitment to nonviolence and peace, both here in our local community and across the globe.

The Details

When:  Tuesday April 21, 5:30 - 6:00pm

Location:  We'll meet outdoors right by the Peace Pole at the church entrance

Whether you’ve been part of this tradition before or this is your first time visiting us, we would love to see you there. Let’s show up for each other and for the idea that peace is always worth the effort.

All are welcome. We’ll see you by the pole.

Last year’s Pride Community Breakfast was absolutely electric—thanks to all of you who showed up to make it so special. We are thrilled to be back to celebrate Truckee Pride Week (May 31 – June 7), and we want you to be part of our Breakfast that has become one of the Pride Week annual grand finale events!

Join us for our 3rd Annual Pride Community Breakfast! We’re bringing back all the best parts of this tradition: delicious food, great music, and the company of the incredible neighbors and friends who make Truckee such a wonderful place to live.

It’s all about spreading good vibes, celebrating our community, and continuing to build an inclusive space where everyone feels welcome.

Our church has always grown through the care and commitment of this community. Today, we invite you to be part of that tradition through our Growing Together Campaign, an effort to complete the renovation of the historic Sipes Parsonage.

Located next to our church, the Sipes Parsonage has long been part of our campus and our story. The next phase of the renovation focuses on the exterior of the home, including new windows, updated siding, improvements to the back deck, and added insulation to protect and preserve the building for years to come.

To help make this possible, we are looking for donors who feel called to support the project by giving a one-time gift of any amount or $100 per month for one year. These steady gifts will help us complete this important work and ensure the parsonage continues to serve our church and the Truckee community.

The Growing Together Campaign is about more than restoring a building — it’s about growing our community and investing in the future of our church at the heart of Truckee.

We are grateful for your support as we work together to complete this meaningful project and grow together!

It was pretty chilly in Truckee for this year’s Literary Crawl, but the Church of the Mountains ended up being the perfect spot to defrost. There’s something about a historic space filled with people sharing stories that just feels right - it turned into a really warm, cozy escape from the cold.

Watching authors and listeners connect over intimate readings was definitely the highlight. It was one of those days that reminds you how much community and creativity can actually brighten things up, even when the weather isn't cooperating.

Huge thanks to everyone who swung by and made the afternoon so special. We loved hosting this, and honestly, we’re already looking forward to the next one!

This spring and summer work will take place on the exterior of the Sipes Parsonage as part of our 5-year rejuvenation project to bring new life to our campus.

Thank you for your patience during this time, and thank you for your generous contributions of time, talent and treasure that are helping us create a vibrant, welcoming space for our community.

Judy Jensen, the group leader welcomes everyone to participate. 

We read and discuss the books we have chosen in an informal discussion and look forward to spending time and sharing our faith with one another. We pray as an introduction to our study—and we close with prayer.

Our group are also members of the Prayer Net and welcome requests that come to us through the larger church body.
