Home of The People's Theological Library! Come hang out during the week, eat and worship with us 2nd/4th Saturdays 12:30pm! We are a progressive, LBGTQIA+ affirming faith community who strive to follow Jesus of Nazareth and agree with what he said when asked which of the commandments were most important: “This is the foremost: ‘Hear, O Israel, our God, is one. You must love the Most High God with
all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:29-31, IBFET) Love of God, neighbor, and self are the guiding principles in all that we do. With the above in mind, we are a faith community of active, lifelong learners who love and believe God, who gave us brains with which to think, souls with which to pray and care, and bodies with which to act and live vibrant lives, embodying radical love as Jesus did in his time. We take the Bible too seriously to take it literally, and appreciate science and history as part of God’s good creation. God calls all of us to something, and we can accomplish that with the help of God and the support of the community around us. We also believe that while the arc of the universe may bend toward justice, the love of Jesus calls us to be arc-benders, to participate in the work of justice, especially in the form of faith-based or faith-rooted community organizing. We work with people of faith to integrate what's in our hearts with thoughtful scholarship and meaningful action toward God's transformative, just realm.
