One of the hopes and dreams for our church is that this be a place where you can experience peace. We want to have open hearts that welcome the weary traveler looking for a spiritual home. We want to have a resolute spirit that rises up against oppression, harassment and exploitation. Becoming a peaceful presence is not about turning a blind eye to the injustice in our world, or becoming apathetic toward the marginalized and oppressed. It is about an intentional focus on God, a determined trust in God, and a willingness to do good even when it doesn't seem to be the way to get results.
