We welcome all. Those who are single or married, divorced or remarried, gay or straight.
We invite you to a safe place to seek life, love and light for your life.
We are an open and affirming church for the LGBTQ+ community.
At STCC we are trying to live in the light that life is a gift and love is the point.
Under the ShadeTree we:
Push aside partisan politics
Embrace the ongoing conversation of faith that begins in the Bible
Resist the temptation to take the Bible simplistically rather than seriously
Embrace the contributions of science for the betterment of humanity
Eliminate the fear of other religions and people groups
Condemn white supremacy and nationalistic justification for greed
Embrace the poor, the outcast and those on the margins
Realize that everyone is encultured in the way they see the world. To see the world differently does not mean that it is wrong
Eliminate homophobia and hatred of other groups often used as scapegoats
Embrace an ecumenical spirit of cooperation with faith groups different than our own tradition
You have the permission to wonder, doubt and wrestle with the mysteries of life.
We are all at different places on the journey. Let’s take a step forward together.
