We are a church of open minds.
We are a church of loving hearts.
We are a church of helping hands.
We're a caring community uniting reason with spiritual exploration. We draw on the wisdom of the world's religions and the results of science. We welcome people of all abilities, ages, classes, races, colors, ethnicities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations.
Is this your first "virtual visit?" I invite you to visit our Welcome page, read past sermons and learn about our community. Or stop by on a Sunday morning. We'd love to meet you in person.
Rev. Fritz Hudson, Minister
