** Grace Inclusive Church **
In 1999 Reverend Eden Jakajebara-Bell and I, along with a group of committed Believers, planted Grace Inclusive Church in Santa Cruz California. Our intention was to establish a Bible teaching ministry that would be open to all people regardless of sexual orientation or other considerations. A year or so later I resigned as pastor and Andrea and I moved to Vallejo California to help with my son's care after an unexpected illness stuck him (thankfully God has completely healed him). A year or so later, Grace Inclusive closed its doors and we moved further north into the California buttes where we still live.
The page you are currently viewing was originally the entry page of our congregation's website. Grace Inclusive lives on through this site and I continue to offer my assistance to LGBT people here and through the two e-groups linked below. Pastor Eden continues to be a blessing to those in the Santa Area and remains in active ministry.
The following are our congregation ratified doctrinal statements for Grace Inclusive Church. I am including them here because they are part of the Grace Inclusive Church history and offer insights that may be useful to others:
