    My husband and I visited this church over 20 years ago. We liked that there was a female pastor. Wanted our niece and nephew to see the church have female leaders. We joined and then had a pastor part of the LGBTQ+ community for 19 years. We raised our family there. Our little church has been a positive influence on many peoples lives. Now we have a great pastor who fits in with our affirming church. He is doing great things.
