Greetings!
This is a community that is very dear to my heart. We are a group of people that share our successes and our struggles. We don’t pretend to have all of life’s answers but journey together, seeking the path that God has for us. We seek to live in God’s love and peace and bring that love and peace to the world.
We are also a community that affirms that God loves all people regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We are progressive Christians that won’t tell you what to believe but will be on a spiritual journey with you. We take the Bible seriously but not literally.
With God’s loving help, we can live fulfilling lives in community with each other while helping the world become a better place by working for justice and bringing God’s good news of love. If you would like to explore your spirituality and nurture your relationship with God while getting to know a wonderful family of fellow seekers, please join us.
We worship on Sunday evenings at 6 pm at 2208 Winchell Ave. Dress is informal – Come as you are!
I look forward to meeting you there!
May God Bless You Richly,
Rev. Ken Arthur, Pastor
