Statement of Purpose:
This church was founded on the
faith that love is a more positive force for good than fear. It exists as a
haven of religious freedom, offering fellowship, knowledge and inspiration to
all who would seek truth, live responsibly and courageously, and be of service
to humanity.
Our Worship Services and Sunday

during the summer, July and August.
