“Our goal is to show people God’s love,” said Dempsey, who has organized the pumpkin patch for the past seven years. In May 2021, the church voted to become an LGBTQ+ accepting ministry. One of the student members created the “All Are Welcome Here” poster, and Dempsey posted the “In This House” flag in the pumpkin patch for the first time in 2021. (Photo/Haley Chambers)
