Who We Are Saint Giles is a congregation that is
becoming more diverse as it grows in
grace. We are people of differing
theological understandings, living in open
-minded dialog with one another. Our
Lord’s ministry was one of hospitality and
inclusion, and we see these as essential
components of our church life together.
We embrace people of every nation, race,
sexual orientation and gender
identity, believing that all people are
created equally in God's image, and all
are equally loved by God.
