Who We Are
We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, which means we openly welcome people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. We believe God’s love is for everyone – no exceptions.
We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), a Lutheran church rooted in God’s grace, Scripture, worship, and service to our neighbors. In a world that can often feel uncertain, we believe God’s love in Jesus Christ brings hope, mercy, comfort, and joy.
Communion
We celebrate Holy Communion weekly and all are welcome at the table. We serve bread and wine, with gluten-free wafers and juice available.
Children in Worship
Children are always welcome in worship – we love having them with us. While we don’t have a nursery or Sunday School during the service, we believe children are an important part of our church family and encourage them to participate in ways that feel comfortable. Activity bags are available to help keep them engaged.
Still Have Questions?
We’d love to hear from you.
