We are an Open and Affirming Congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). We have a history of advocating for LGBT persons within our denomination and the larger church. We are committed to life-long spiritual growth through Jesus Christ. We celebrate who God has made us to be, and encourage authentic relationships with each other and with God. We pursue God's righteousness on earth in social justice. We hope our hospitality provides a place for strangers to encounter God's grace. We believe we can best live out our discipleship in a community as radically inclusive as the realm of God. We are also associated with Glad Alliance (Gay, Lesbian, and Affirming Disciples).
