We are an inclusive Christian community where all are welcome. We are intentional about our faith development: we ask questions, develop deep and lasting friendships, support families of all shapes and sizes and work together to make a positive difference in our community.

Nobody is perfect here, but being a part of this place brings out the best of us. We give and receive forgiveness and experience God's grace through bread and cup, study and service, prayer, people and family.

Three Faithful Responses to the Separation of Families at the Border

Our Christian response begins with tuning in and turning towards this terrible story. It is our responsibility to stay tuned in and to let our hearts break. The word compassion means 'to suffer with.'

Texas Faith Leaders Rebuke Trump administration's "zero tolerance" Policy

Churches, especially in deep-red Texas, often sit out partisan squabbles. But the issue of family separations is not a political one, some faith leaders say — it's a humanitarian and moral crisis.
