Longboat Island Chapel

An Interfaith Community Church
 

Our Affirmation

"Love is the doctrine of this church; the quest of truth its sacrament; and service is its prayer. To dwell together in peace, to seek knowledge in freedom, to serve humanity in fellowship, to the end that all souls shall grow into harmony with the divine - thus do we covenant with each other, and with God."

 

Our Statement of Interfaith

"It is an open door through which all may pass and be understood; to share their faith with anyone else without fear of ridicule or censure."
