Will I connect with people there?

WILL I FEEL A CONNECTION WITH THE PEOPLE THERE?

We sure hope so. Our folks are friendly and we join in laughter and tears as the events of our lives and the world are shared with one another during the Joys and Concerns part of our service.

The co-pastors believe in a radical hospitality and that EVERYONE is welcome at the table.

A Welcome To All

We are a church that takes Jesus’ command to “love one another” seriously. We are a welcoming church, open and affirming to the LGBT community and accessible to all who seek to worship with us and join the journey of faith. We expect diversity and look for it in people and ideas. We believe that “God is still speaking” and that every person is loved by God and worthy to be an active, vibrant, and generous participant in the Body of Christ, the church.
