    Every person has the opportunity to connect and share life with one another through our ministries.

  • INCLUSION

    With an open communion table at the center of our identity, we welcome all people into active participation and leadership.

  • OUTREACH

    We demonstrate God's love by our tangible expressions of selfless service to our church, our community, and our world.

  • GROWING DISCIPLES

    We seek the way of Christ and nurture trust in God through worship, study, and open conversation.

  • CHILDREN & YOUTH MINISTRY
