Drawing from a strong tradition of vital worship with engaging music and proclamation of the Word, we gather at Christ’s table where all are welcome.
Every person has the opportunity to connect and share life with one another through our ministries.
With an open communion table at the center of our identity, we welcome all people into active participation and leadership.
We demonstrate God's love by our tangible expressions of selfless service to our church, our community, and our world.
We seek the way of Christ and nurture trust in God through worship, study, and open conversation.
We invest in young people, birth through high school, by offering engaging programs that build character and equip them for a life of love and selfless service.
Due to the predicted snow and ice this evening, we have decided to cancel all evening programming.
This includes: Youth Small Group, Children/Youth Music Program, Adult Brass Ensemble Rehearsal, Chancel Choir Rehearsal, and the C.S. Lewis Study.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please stay safe out there if venturing out tonight.
