It's official! Squaw Valley Chapel has a new name! I am happy to report that a new name, OLYMPIC VALLEY CHAPEL was approved unanimously by the voting members. This decision was an easy one to make once the resort changed its name and the county, state, and federal agencies are all changing the names of more than 660 geographic features with the name “squaw,” which was officially declared a derogatory term. This decision honors and illustrates the spirit of our opening welcome; “Whoever you are, wherever you are on your spiritual journey you are welcome here!” It also affirms our guiding principles that speak to our core values of growth, inclusion, and diversity. Congratulations, church, on this momentous and inspired decision! May it shine as a guiding light leading us into a vibrant, meaningful future!
