As a congregation comprised of persons who are committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and who, by the power of the Spirit strive to follow Jesus’ teachings and example, we believe that all persons are of equal worth. Therefore, we are committed to providing a safe, considerate, and caring environment in which all persons involved in the congregation are treated with kindness and respect.
