Experience a non-dogmatic and non-judgmental church service open to interfaith and skeptical perspectives. We reject literal interpretations of scripture and approach the Bible in context: authors, audiences, purposes, and goals, hoping to find new insight and value.
We welcome all ages, gender identities, gender expressions, religious backgrounds, religious affiliations, spiritual types, political leanings, educational levels, financial capacities, and physical abilities.
Our mission is to invite everyone into community, to continually learn & grow, to abolish poverty & end needless suffering, to pursue peace everywhere, and to live life meaningfully together.
