Reverend
Tony Lorenzen

Opening the Mind, Touching the Heart, Inspiring the Spirit

“Through example and practice we will build a community that values spirituality, encourages its members to deeply develop their individual spiritual practices and search for truth and meaning. Our work together will build a congregation that values community, worship and service. Our people will be both spiritual and religious. Our people will thrive and our numbers will grow.“
