I believe that all individuals are equal. That is why I do not discriminate and welcome everyone, of any race, sexuality, gender, socioeconomic status, and faith background to be a member of my ministry.
It is simple: we are all children of the same universe. I appreciate that the diversity of faiths in this world is a beautiful thing, and all are valid and can peacefully coexist. As each family of religious belief brings something valuable to the table, it’s also important that everyone should be free to worship according to their chosen belief system, and in the manner which they see fit.

WHAT DO WE TEACH?
We use both the Old Testament and the Gospels in our teachings and put those teachings into practice at home and at worship. We believe in the true meaning of Christianity and strive to help each other discover it through in-depth Bible study, celebration of Holy Communion together, community service, self-discovery, exploring our spirituality, friendship, and love.
