Welcome! We're a small church doing BIG things with the help of God!
We believe that God loves, values and embraces each person as a beloved child. Therefore, we welcome people of every age, size, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, ability and challenge. We welcome people from all faith traditions, those with doubts, and those with no sense of faith at all. We also commit ourselves to the pursuit of environmental, economic, social and racial justice.
Jesus introduces another New Math to us. He gives us a formula, an equation, really: 1 + 1 + 1 = One. God’s strange arithmetic is not as a call to uniformity or conformity, but to embrace our differences in a harmony of gracious purpose.
Someone’s heard something. There’s a bit of buzz. Not outrage—just concern. A few thoughtful folks bring it up: “Did you hear what Peter did?” No accusations yet, just questions: “Is it true he went into a Gentile's house? Sat down and ate with them?” Now, it might not sound like much to us—but imagine someone you deeply respect suddenly doing the one thing your faith told you not to do. Not just questionable. Not just “pushing the envelope.” But crossing a line. The kind of thing that makes you wonder, “Has he gone soft on the Scriptures? Has he forgotten where we come from?” Or could God be doing something new?
*“What are you carrying this morning that God doesn’t mean for you to carry?
The women left their spices at the tomb.
Peter left his guilt behind.
You can leave your burdens, too.
Because Easter isn’t just about something that happened 2,000 years ago.
It’s about what’s happening now—
when mercy replaces shame,
when fear gives way to peace,
when resurrection breaks into your life and says:
You are forgiven.
You are free.
You are loved.”*
