As a worshipping congregation, we strive to follow the example of Christ, who sought relationship with individuals that others dismissed as not worthy of redemption.  We embrace diversity in the community and world, including the diversity of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, faith history, ability and disability, housed and yet-to-be housed, economic status, marital status, health status, and family configurations. Love of each Child of God is the foundation of Haywood Street.
