In response to God’s love for all people, we welcome young and old; families, couples and singles; rich and poor; persons of all races, ethnicities, backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities. We also welcome those with differing physical and mental abilities as well as believers and seekers. Every person joining our community adds profound value to the mystery of faith!
