Our church actively sponsors and supports activities that provide aid to fight against hunger and homelessness, support health care and education, speak out for vulnerable populations, and advocate for policies that align with our faith. Upcoming and recent activities are shown below. We hope you can join us in these efforts.
Pride Is About Finding and Making Community
Adult Ed, Begins May 31, 9:45am
This Sunday Tony Arnold presents the second class in a three part series to help us understand Pride and our LGBTQIA+ siblings. This class looks at the real (and often unmet) need for a truly inclusive community and how our church can be more welcoming, inclusive, and empowering.
Love Wins! Spring 2026 Activities
Why Love Wins!
We rejoice in hard-won progress—the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s policies on ordination and same-sex marriage, along with civil marriage equality—and we stay wide awake to the rising threats to LGBTQIA+ people and their families from Christian nationalism and white supremacy. In these challenging times, we stand alongside all who face discrimination simply for being who they are. Come join us—and help us declare that Love Wins!

Immigrant Accompaniment Program
Volunteer Opportunity
Immigrant families in our community are facing fear and uncertainty in their daily lives. Your presence through accompaniment says: “This person is seen. This person matters. The community is watching.” The Faith Coalition asks you to consider volunteering with Las Cumbres to walk alongside them. Volunteers receive orientation, training, supervision, and debriefing.
