Our congregation represents the diversity of God's creation. Men and women who are gay, lesbian, transgendered, queer, and questioning can fellowship and worship without fear of discrimination or condemnation and be welcomed for who they are. We believe that all humans are made in the image of God and sexual diversity is one of the ways God expresses creativity in the natural world. Men and women can worship here without fear of judgment and in a low-pressure environment.

The love of God is available to everyone without discrimination and our church and denomination have been, and continue to be, open to receiving men and women who are gay, and affirming of the unique gifts they bring to a community of faith. Our church is open and affirming, and our denomination is supportive through the Gay and Lesbian Affirming Disciples Alliance.
