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.

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.

Truth

“Confession is just spiritual language for truth-telling” (from the Arthur Riley devo). When we confess, sharing the truth about ourselves with God and with one another, it sets us free. We release those parts of us that are not authentic to who we are so that we are free to
