As a Reconciling Congregation, we openly welcome individuals of all ages, races, backgrounds, abilities, economic circumstances, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Our mission is not only to welcome diversity but to celebrate it as a fundamental aspect of our Christian faith. We are dedicated to nurturing a community where everyone, regardless of their background, can find a place to belong, grow, and serve. Our purpose is to be a beacon of hope and a source of spiritual strength in our community. We strive to create an environment where all individuals feel valued and empowered to contribute to the life and leadership of our church. We are committed to advocating for justice and full inclusion of all people, not only within our congregation but also in the broader community we serve. As part of our mission, we recognize the importance of outreach, especially to marginalized communities. We have a particular focus on serving unsheltered neighbors and asylum seekers in Dallas, acting as a welcoming center for migrants affected by the border crisis. We ensure that they know they are safe, free, and welcome in our country. Our comprehensive support includes providing clothing, food, rest spaces, travel arrangement assistance, medical aid, educational workshops on rights, and transportation to airports. In fulfilling our mission, we seek the support of like-minded individuals and organizations who believe in creating an open and inclusive Christian community.

It inspires not only the recipients but also the wider community to share and give forward, creating a ripple effect of compassion and hope. Through your support, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who seek refuge, comfort, and a place to call home within our community.
