Loving. Liberating. Life-giving.
Encounter the Holy One in community as we share God’s love in worship, acceptance, compassion, and service.
We are an open and affirming, Episcopal and Lutheran faith community rooted in the Jesus story.
We believe that God loves us and empowers us to love our neighbors, ourselves, and creation.
Join us in asking questions, exploring Scripture, grappling with the paradoxes of life, and embodying God’s love in our community.
