“We are people of varied opinions and backgrounds. We worship in varied ways. We live and think in varied ways. We are drawn together in the everyday challenge to be more like Jesus. None of us is perfect. None of us has all the answers. We hope to lead with love and grace. We try not to judge. It is our wish that every person will discover the support of friends and the comfort of home with us. Welcome!”
