Bringing our values to life is a core part of our congregation’s mission and vision. We seek not only personal transformation but also a transformation of the world around us, with our foundation being the worth and dignity of every person and the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
Having voted overwhelmingly in support of a welcoming statement in 2019, we affirm LGBTQIA+ individuals and families fully in the life of the church and live into that affirmation by hosting an adult trans support group and engaging in periodic adult education on LGBTQIA+ relevant topics as well as advocating for LGBTQIA+ inclusion in our denomination. We are a service and justice-oriented congregation with worship led at times by a band at at time by an organ. A Wednesday evening community meals ministry is a key secondary touchpoint for our families as an afterschool ministry with elementary students precedes it and Middle School / High School youth group follows.
We believe the invitation of Jesus was radical and all-inclusive, and we want to be the kind of community that says and does the things Jesus did. In this faith community, our welcome is wide open.
