A welcoming community affiliated with the ELCA. We believe the gospel is God's gift to all people, to be shared unconditionally, without regard to age, race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic or family status, or physical or mental abilities. We know the world is often an unloving place and that the experience of alienation is all too common. To those who have felt excluded here or elsewhere, we extend a particular welcome in Christ's love. We rejoice that diversity has enriched, nurtured and challenged the life and ministry we share as members of the body of Christ and workers in the kingdom of God.
