    Representation

    Diversity—in terms of racial and ethnic background, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical abilities, geographical location, vocation or economic status—makes us strong, and our church is committed to proactively addressing inequities and historic patterns of exclusion. We openly encourage nominations to reflect the many expressions of God’s people.
