Diverse and Inclusive

Our congregation reflects the diversity of the Bay Area -- our community includes people of African American, Latino/a, European and Asian American heritage; queer, trans, straight, and cis people; single folks, couples, and families of all shapes and sizes; people who are wild about Jesus and people who aren't so sure what they believe, but seeking spiritual community. At Plymouth, you're welcome not in spite of but because of your unique story.

Justice-Making

Here at Plymouth, we're a justice-seeking people who follow a justice-making God. You will be encouraged to see yourself as a beloved child of God and a “co-conspirator” in building a world where God's dream of dignity and respect for all people is realized.
