We’re choosing courage. This is not a political act, but a pastoral one.”“We are being Christian. Our steps are a declaration in paint: every LGBTQ+ child of God deserves safety, dignity, and joy — without apology.”— Senior Pastor Rachel Griffin‑Allison & church leadership. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQxDtX5Ecvc/?igsh=MW9oazM3eHQ1aGQzdw==
