An Open and Affirming Congregation
Be the church. Protect the environment.
Care for the poor. Forgive often.
Reject racism. Fight for the powerless.
Share earthly and spiritual resources.
Embrace diversity. Love God. Enjoy this life.
"Welcome! We celebrate everyone! Yes everyone. People of all ages, races, cultures, sexual orientation, gender identities and expressions. We celebrate all family configurations, economic circumstances, physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, education, and spiritual traditions. Whew...that is a lot! And it should be. Why? Because Jesus said so. "And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34). So, we will and do. We are glad you are here.
