church life
Practicing radical hospitality and building a community that is inclusive of all, knowing that the way we behave towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.
Religious Education
"No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here."
Religious Education
Our "behavior over belief" curriculum connects children with their own inner wisdom. We encourage interdependence, self awareness, respect for nature, stillness, forgiveness, prayer, meditation, and integrity. We use the teachings of Jesus as our guide along with the wisdom of other faith traditions."

Mustard Seeds
The Kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; which indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof!
