Come experience our spiritual community!
For us, church is about gathering as people on our spiritual journeys to include, support, respect, and love one another as Christ teaches us. "Church" is a shared, heart-centered experience where we welcome all. Read more about our inclusive church here. On Sunday mornings, we pray, read, sing, and reflect on scripture as we strive to embrace unity consciousness in a broken world. We share a holy meal and celebrate the presence of the Divine among and in us. |
