“I came to the Church years ago, looking for a community that was progressive, justice-minded, and open to creative worship. I stayed because I've felt loved and supported by the community: through good times (my wedding) and bad (the loss of several family members). I'm proud that our community has evolved over time to meet new needs, from serving Czech immigrants over a century ago, to our homeless outreach program today.”
