Dean Snyder is on Facebook and likes to have friends.
He, however, does not initiate friendships with church members
in case they don’t want the pastor as their friend
but it would be awkward to say no.
He welcomes your initiative.

FOUNDRY'S STATEMENT
OF CALL
We at Foundry are called by
God to deepen faith through transcendent worship and challenging study, to create engaged community through inclusion and caring, and
to transform the world through active service and prophetic leadership.
OUR KEY SCRIPTURE
One of the religious scholars came up...he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?"
Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these."
Mark 12: 28-31, from The Message
