About Us

Pastoral Response to #GC2019

Reconciling congregation – All persons are recipients of God’s love and grace; God intends the church to be a community which embodies love, grace and justice for all people as a sign of God’s covenant. We, therefore, will continue to seek and welcome persons of any age, gender, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability as full participants in our community of faith.

We are a Stephen Ministry Congregation – Stephen Ministry is confidential, one-on-one caring by trained lay persons for those experiencing a serious life transition.

We are a Justice-Seeking Congregation – We work in covenant with the Methodist Federation for Social Action to be the inclusive, anti-racist/anti-oppressive, justice seeking, risk-taking Body of Christ.

We are a Peace with Justice Covenant Congregation – As followers in Jesus’ footsteps, we believe that a ministry of peace and justice is a way to witness to the whole gospel.
