Our mission at Gethsemane is to help people Love God & Love People.

Because Jesus welcomed all people, we are dedicated to welcoming all people of every race, culture, belief, national origin, gender, gender identity, age, marital status, family structure, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, and physical or mental ability.

All are welcome at Gethsemane, and all really means ALL!
