God is love,
and that love is for everyone.
Worship with us this Sunday at 8:30 or 11:00 am
Who We Are
Here we believe that God is love;
and that love is for everyone.
God’s extravagant love changes the world
and moves us to respond in gratitude.
Whoever you are and whoever you are becoming,
you are not only welcome here, but invited
to shape this community with your God-given gifts.
