WELCOME MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Hello, and welcome to our website! I'm glad you have taken the opportunity to get to know us through all the information you will find here. Of course, the best way to get to know us is to come and worship with us. When you do, you will find a "small, but mighty" congregation of truly welcoming people. Yes, I know, almost all churches say they are friendly and welcoming, but proof of our commitment to offer the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ is evidenced by our engagement in the process to become an official Open and Affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ, a designation we achieved in 2011. Simply put, we "embrace all God's children," regardless of age, race, economic status, educational level, marital status, sexual orientation and physical and mental abilities. No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!

- Rev. Lenore Kure
