Our Mission: Offering Christ, Community and Compassion
In this congregation of the Body of Christ, we celebrate and share God’s grace through worship, ministry, fellowship, mission, Christian education and service. As humble servants called to faithful discipleship, we offer open hearts, open minds and open doors to all those in need. |

Our Vision: To live as disciples of Christ.
We accept God’s call to know, experience and share God’s transforming love.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

Our Core Values: As a witnessing community of faith in word and deed, we are committed to the following core values:
• Sacramental congregational worship
Through baptism we rejoice in God’s forgiveness and the invitation to each of us to join in God’s family of believers. Through Holy Communion we remember Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
• Service, mission, and evangelism
As faithful disciples, we share God’s love and grace by serving others.
• Spiritual growth and formation
Opportunities are available for every individual to grow spiritually and to deepen one’s personal relationship with God.
• Respect and compassion for all of God’s children
We strive to be an open, loving congregation offering a warm and welcoming environment to all of God’s children.
• Ministry to one another within this Body of Christ
We are a multi-generational, supportive, and nurturing Christian family.
• Christian education
Study of the Scriptures and additional Christian studies provide a strong foundation for our faith journey and equip us as disciples to better lead a Christ-like life. |
