Everyone deserves more than a welcome. In Jesus, there is room to belong, participate, and be fully known.
In Christ's family there can be no division...you are all equal.
Galatians 3:28 (MSG)
YOU DON’T HAVE TO EARN YOUR PLACE
You don't have to become someone else before you belong. Whatever your story, questions, background, identity, or past experience with church, there is room for you here.WELCOME MEANS PARTICIPATION
Radical inclusion means more than being allowed through the doors. We want people to participate, contribute, serve, lead, and become a genuine part of our life together.LGBTQ+ PEOPLE FULLY BELONG
LGBTQ+ people are not welcomed despite who they are. They are embraced as beloved children of God and invited into the full life, leadership, ministry, and sacraments of the church.WE MAKE ROOM FOR QUESTIONS
You don't need complete certainty or identical beliefs to belong. Faith can include questions, doubts, discovery, disagreement, and growth without putting your place in the community at risk.WE CROSS THE LINES THAT DIVIDE
Jesus repeatedly crossed boundaries that separated people. We seek to build community across differences of race, culture, age, ability, economic circumstance, background, and life experience.WE LISTEN TO PEOPLE AT THE MARGINS
Inclusion requires more than inviting people into spaces designed without them in mind. We listen to voices too often ignored and allow what we hear to challenge and change us.GRACE IS BIGGER THAN OUR LABELS
No political label, denominational background, family history, relationship status, or chapter of your past gets the final word about you. God's grace is bigger than the categories we use for one another.WE KEEP MAKING THE CIRCLE WIDER
Radical inclusion is never a box we finish checking. We keep asking who is missing, who has been overlooked, and what barriers still need to come down so Christ's welcome can become more fully visible among us.
HOW THIS CONNECTS TO OUR BELIEFS
Radical inclusion grows from what we believe about God and about one another.
We believe every person bears the image of God, Christ’s grace is for all, and no human distinction determines someone’s worth or place in God’s family. The welcome we extend is rooted in the welcome we have received in Jesus.
HOW THIS CONNECTS TO OUR OTHER VALUES
Radical inclusion flows naturally from everything else we value.
We follow Jesus, take Scripture seriously, listen for the Spirit, and build authentic community where people don’t simply attend—they belong, participate, and help shape our life together.
Our values work together: the wider Christ opens the table, the wider we make room.
