Church of the Mountains embraces the Open Hearts, Open Doors, Open Minds slogan of the United Methodist Church.
Expanding on that, this small group opportunity is a step in action towards living into that statement more fully by welcoming people of all sexual orientations & gender identities and affirming that all people are created in the image of God.
Continue to let Cathie know if this is a ministry you support, she will not attend the conference at the end of the month but wants to keep looking at the best ways we can support this group.
