We welcome your whole self, your family into our worship as we build a community of caring, courage, and hope.

We strive for a multicultural anti-oppression presence in every aspect of what we do, including worship, outreach, and even committee work.

Speak Out for Education Before March 1

Your voice matters! Unless the Legislature acts before March 1, public schools will have to cumulatively cut spending for this school year by over $1.2 BILLION. This can be stopped with enough public outcry. Read more and learn what you can do. And, once again, we recommend the Civic Engagement Beyond Voting website as a
