We are God’s people being transformed by the Holy Spirit to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world in word and action.

We believe all people share the worth that comes from being loved and forgiven children of God. We want it to be known that we welcome all people – regardless of race, age, culture, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, family status, marital status, gender identity, physical or cognitive ability, or economic condition – into the life-transforming story of Jesus Christ at this congregation. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
