Sunday Seminars: America at 250

In 2026 our nation will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. In our deeply divided nation, Community Church’s five Sunday Seminars on America at 250 offer the possibility of a thoughtful appreciation of both the promises and problems of our nation’s history and heritage. Is the Declaration of Independence simply an important historical document or can its message still speak to us today in 2026?

We are blessed to enjoy the instruction and leadership of Dr. Ron White, a member of San Marino Community Church and respected American historian. You may not know another member and American historian, Professor Jesse George-Nichol. Jesse is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Virginia. Her dissertation on the American Civil War won the St. George Tucker Society's Bradford-Delaney Dissertation prize.

Sunday Seminar: January 25, 2026

For the first of these seminars, Ron and Jesse will help us consider what's in the Declaration of Independence, a text of foundational importance, but one we may have not read in a while. To view a recording of this seminar click the video link below:

The next Seminar in this series will take place on Sunday, March 8 at 2:00 P.M. in our Fellowship Hall.

These seminars are FREE to attend and open to ALL!
