STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The Rainbow Ministry celebrates the unique experience of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered individuals. We provide fellowship, support, and service to anyone who seeks a spiritual community of love and acceptance.

 

Are you gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, straight, or otherwise and seeking a spiritual community of love and acceptance? Do you desire to deepen your spiritual connection? Are you looking for a church that accepts and celebrates you as being created with sacred worth, in God's image and likeness? We welcome and celebrate you just the way you are.

Together, we explore ways to deepen our spiritual connection through gatherings of like-hearted people, supporting one another through affirmative connections, and providing service in various ways to our extended church community. We enjoy a positive, supportive environment where we focus on reaching our full potential; creating a way of life that leads to health, prosperity, happiness, and peace of mind.

Whether you're GLBT or otherwise, a member of our Church or not, everyone is invited to participate in any of the organized activities sponsored by the Rainbow Ministry. Come join us at our Sunday worship service and sign-up at the Information Center in the lobby of our church, or click on the 'sign-up' link beside the event of interest (see events below).
