The church has also played a role in climate change activism. As Bill McKibben noted in his book Oil and Honey, activists used the church as a staging ground for protests related to the Keystone XL Pipeline.[1] The church has also been a punk rock venue.[2][3]
The church reported 233 members in 2019 and 166 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $295,260. Average Sunday attendance (ASA) in 2024 was 91 persons.[4]
