Affirming & InclusiveWe believe that diversity, including diversity of gender and sexual orientation, is a beautiful, integral part of God’s creation, and that God has called us “good.” God’s love is for saints and sinners, terms that both apply to every single one of us, and we do not believe that living as one’s true self is a sin. As a community, we seek to offer healing for the ways that the Church has silenced, shamed and wounded LGBTQIA+ children of God.  We celebrate that the Spirit of God works in ways that transform the categories that humans use to separate ourselves from God and from one another.

Caring for CreationLove for the gift of God’s creation runs deep at Grace.  When you approach the church, you might notice bluebird boxes or the green tree canopy.  In addition to making room for all manner of people in our midst, the GreenGrace team maintains native habitat, providing homes and food for all kinds of creatures.  The Grace grounds also house community gardens, free (u-pick) gardens, a Level 2 Urban Arboretum and a weekly farmers’ market (Saturdays from 10-noon).  Our members work throughout our area to advocate for policies and practices that honor creation, including habitat restoration, environmental justice, waterway clean-up, green infrastructure and sustainability.
