Sticker Ministry

A great way to spread awareness about something you care about is to put a sticker on your water bottle, computer, notebook or planner. Help spread awareness on social justice issues by picking up a sticker or two at a Social Justice event or reach out to Ali Fields, the Director of Social Justice. 

We have stickers to show your support for body positivity, mental health matters, LGBTQ+, anti-racism and more.

No Hate Signs

We are called by God to love others and to take a stand against hate and the harm it causes so many people in our communities. We do this by educating ourselves, by amplifying the voices of those who have been harmed by hate, and by using our own voices to speak out against hate. Signs are $5. Learn more.

Rainbow Stoles

We wear rainbows to call attention to our welcoming stance and to show solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community. This Pride symbol is a visual sign of a commitment to justice in the areas of gender and sexuality.

Let There Be A Big Bang

September 12, 2023 Albert Einstein said, “Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.”  Scientific ideas and theological concepts are often woven together in beautiful ways.
