We strive to be an inclusive community who believes in the empowerment of "the least of these" while clinging to the Gospel ("good news") Jesus preached, recognizing the importance of racial, economic, and social justice in our fragile society. We are fully open and affirming. Regardless of your race, beliefs, abilities, sexual orientation, gender, (a)gender identity, (a)gender-expression(s), economic and/or immigration status, you are welcome at Church of the Covenant (a member of the United Church of Christ and Christian Church, Disciples of Christ)
