Our faith comes through the good news of Jesus Christ and gives us the freedom and the courage to wonder, discover and boldly participate in what God is up to in the world. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person—questions, complexities and all.
We welcome you no matter your background, race, economic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, political beliefs or country of origin.
Come see for yourself, for a worship service or service opportunity. We love guests!
