We do not view homosexuality to be a sin. As such, no matter your sexual orientation or gender identity, you are welcomed no differently than anyone else who enters our doors.

"Although the terms 'welcoming' and 'affirming'  have often been used interchangeably, some congregations differentiate between the words. For example, a church may 'welcome' ALL people but may NOT 'affirm' all lifestyles and therefore LGBTQ+ folks may not be allowed in leadership positions within the church. In the same vein, some denominations may forbid same-gender marriage or ordination of lesbian, gay or transgender people, yet will fully embrace and affirm everyone in leadership positions within the local church."
