To create a loving community where everyONE, especially those who have felt “unwelcome,” are equal participants in God’s family and are accepted with compassion and understanding.

Upcoming Events
Jesus initiated his ministry and teaching by reading these words from the prophet Isaiah;
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Luke 4:18-19 (NRSVUE)
He concluded by saying he was the fulfillment of these promises.
