About Us
We are multigenerational, multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural. We are queer, trans, straight, nonbinary, and everything in between. What brings us together is our curiosity about God and one other. We take the Bible and religion seriously, and we understand that requires imagination and openness.
We are a progressive and justice-focused community in the Presbyterian Church (USA). You can read more about our denomination here. As Presbyterians, we are part of the Reformed Tradition, which emphasizes the grace and freedom of God.
We like to say that our tradition is “reformed, and always reforming.” That means we are always open to ways we are being called to rethink and reimagine who God is and how God is calling us to live in the world. Our ancestors didn’t have the full picture, and we don’t either.
We hope you’ll join us in the ongoing reformation.
