About Us

We are a progressive community committed to Jesus’s teachings of peace and justice. Our members are diverse in belief and background but united in our purpose of caring for each other, our Earth, and our neighbors across Sioux Falls and around the world.

We welcome all with love.

We welcome all with love. As an Open and Affirming Congregation, we believe God’s love embraces all persons equally, no matter their gender, race, or sexual identity, including sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. 

We think freely.

We understand that faith is a matter of mind as well as heart, and that taking the Bible seriously means it cannot always be taken literally. We are a church of open ideas and do not require uniformity of belief. Discover learning and growth opportunities.

We work for justice.

We believe that Christ calls us to be nothing less than global citizens, that the social expression of love is justice, and that spiritual concerns are inseparable from commitment to the natural world. Get Involved.

We care for our Earth.

We are proud to be a Creation Justice Church, an official designation of the United Church of Christ that celebrates our congregation’s commitment to protecting and restoring the Earth through education, sustainable practices, and community partnerships.
