Everyone is a Minister of the Gospel
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your acts of kindness, and give glory to your God. Matthew 5:16

Statement Of Call:
We are called by God to be a radically inclusive, caring community of faith – offering personal and social transformation through Jesus Christ.

We are a reconciling congregation welcoming people of all sexual orientations.

The two candles that grace the front of our altar remind us that the power of God is working within the peoples of Israel and Palestine to bring about lasting peace. There is hope!
