What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God. – Micah 6:8

Honoring the radically inclusive ministry of Jesus, we seek to cultivate a progressive Christian community that welcomes students, faculty, staff and community members in celebrating the diversity of race, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, financial circumstance, and faith tradition.
