Sunday Worship
Sunday School 9:15 AM Worship 10:30 AM
Welcome
Yates has been around for nearly 150 years. We’re a congregation of longtime members, young families, students, and people who just moved to Durham looking for a place to land. We take faith seriously. We welcome people who think differently and aren’t afraid of honest questions. If you’re looking for a church that feels like home—not a performance, not a transaction—this is the place.
