[The Lord] doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
2 Nephi 26:33
The Jamaica 1st Ward is a spiritual home and a safe place for everyone who lives in our ward boundaries and all who visit, regardless of faith or other distinction.
