For a world that's lost in darkness, for the needy and the
hurting, for the young and for the old, we seek to share
God's healing love and message of salvation to all
within our congregation and community.

extremely liberal, and most of their congregations openly embrace the LGBT community.

I'd be a lot more impressed to see such a sign outside a Baptist church.

Sure wouldn't see this in SC, except maybe the Unitarians and everybody thinks they are Commies or something.
On a serious note, it looks like that church has actually read the New Testament.

I could only wish that some our local churches were so kind. The Baptist church down the street from me (less than 5 miles from Pulse) never even lowered their flag.
Yes, a different denomination, but you'd occasionally hope for a shared humanity.
