Are you looking for a church that:
· is open minded?
· is filled with folks who have lots of questions rather than all the answers?
· values the authority of both women and men in leadership?
· involves every member in making important decisions?
· seeks to connect worship and faith with everyday concerns?
· is not so big that it is easy to get lost in the crowd?
We'd like to be that place for you.
