Join us Sunday for worship at 9:30 AM

Our Affirmation of Welcome

In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, who invited us in reconciling love and grace to join the reign of God, this church welcomes all.  We extend this welcome to all believers and non-believers regardless of age, cultural background, economic status, ethnic or linguistic heritage, employment status, housing status, substance dependence, marital status, physical or mental abilities, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other distinction.

As we are all one in God’s eyes, we encourage any who express an interest to become an active part of this congregation’s full life as we witness God’s love.  This is our response to the Gospel, as we understand it, and to do any less would deny to others the welcome we have received from the Creator of us all.
