About

We are a diverse congregation that walks the walk of inclusion in every possible way. We are a very small (40 families) congregation, which does not allow us to offer a number of activities mentioned above, however we work very hard to make sure everyone is comfortable in our space. We offer stickers with pronounce to put on name tags, we celebrate Pride month, we use gender inclusive language whenever possible, and are generally embracing of everyone.
