History
We started as an ethnically diverse church... and then became more diverse! In particular, we spent 2 years in intentional conversation around LGBT people in the church and ended up recognizing 1) our congregation holds diverse views on these things and we're not going to make anyone change their views 2) we're going to invite LGBT people into all levels of leadership just like anyone else - orientation or marital status won't be dis/qualifications for leadership. 3) we're going to stay focused on the most important things of our faith - knowing and loving and serving Jesus Christ and our neighbors.
