Welcome to the Abbey of the Redwoods, an interfaith contemplative community nestled within the serene walls of Grace Good Shepherd Church in McKinleyville, California. Founded by Rev. Dr. Lynn Hubbard, the Abbey is a beacon of spiritual exploration and cultural understanding. Pastor Lynn, a distinguished theologian with a Doctorate of Ministry from the Chicago Theological Seminary, specializes in Cross Cultural Ministry and Native American Theology. His profound experiences, including his tenure as Executive Director of the Navajo Lutheran Mission, guide our mission to foster a post-colonial, interfaith religious community. At the Abbey of the Redwoods, we are dedicated to promoting interfaith understanding and respect through a variety of offerings, including daily spiritual practices, retreats, conferences, and media presentations. Our community is deeply committed to social engagement, striving for peace, justice, and equality in all that we do.
