An ecumenical congregation that is multicultural, diverse, and welcoming to all. Welcomes the full participation of all people - any denominational background, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic location. Hopes to be the open table that Jesus set for all God's children and offer a nurturing fellowship where it's safe to wrestle and explore, acknowledging the simultaneous joy and pain, blessing and loss, of this life. Grateful to lean into the truth that we are perfectly imperfect and still loved, chosen and accepted. Wants to provide the community with a faith home where we can build diverse and deep relationships and experience shared spiritual practices such as worship services, studies, small groups, and prayer, in order to gain greater connection to God and each other. We are teachers, businesswomen and men, nonprofit employees, medical care providers, stay at home parents, unemployed and everything in between, seeking to bring the love, grace and truth of Jesus to our gritty city.
