HOW WE SHARE OUR GIFTS
In 2019, and by a unanimous vote, our congregation became an official Reconciling Congregation. This means we are a safe place for all of God’s children to grow deeper (or begin) their faith journey – no matter who you love or how you identify. We are intentional in connecting with the LGBTQ+ community through Pride and other community events and actively support the work of LaunchPad, The Oasis Center and other life changing (+ saving) organizations.
What is worship + the community like?
People check out Glendale for the first time every week in worship @ 10am. Worship at Glendale is an inclusive experience for all people that includes a message of God’s unending love + grace, upbeat music and a growing community of people with diverse faith journeys, backgrounds + experiences, sexual orientations + gender identities. We have live ASL Interpretation and communion is served with grape juice rather than wine with an option of gluten free bread. We practice an open table where all people are welcome – no matter what. #YallMeansAll
What if I'm not a Christian?
Not a problem. We welcome everyone. Our faith is a journey – each person at their own place as we grow in this life together. Come just as you are to Glendale – no exceptions and no exclusions.
