We are a small church full of risk takers gathering together to enjoy and live within the inclusive love of God. Living within the love of God and the love of our neighbor is as wonderful and complicated a process as living itself. We are a group of believers striving to move beyond the trite and hollow cliche of love and service. We seek depths of love that build confidence and boldness. We seek avenues of service that alter our world. We are glad to use our heads and find paths for our journey forwards.
We seek to create a welcoming place to worship and to be a welcoming group of people as we journey through life. We are trying to do good in the world. We encourage peace, and yet we work for justice. We believe that peace without justice is just silent pain. We raise our voices when we see that people without voices are being ignored or abused. We declare our consciences when we see others acting without conscience. It is an honest group.
We carry the conviction that the Apostle Paul meant it when he wrote, "There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). We seek to live by these same words. We resist reasons to reject others and embrace reasons to join with others. We are an open and affirming congregation-welcoming people from the GLBT community.
We cannot invite you into our perfect church, or even into our mostly perfect church, but we value what we describe here. If you value these things as well, we welcome you to join us.
