What Sort Of People Go To This Church?
We seek to realize Christian fellowship within our local congregation and the church universal by welcoming persons with diverse backgrounds, interests and beliefs into our community of faith. We strive for righteousness, justice and peace, thus becoming instruments of God through Christ in the world.
Worship is central to our life together. Christian education is provided for all ages. Fellowship in worship and dynamic small groups provide an extended family. Benevolence is expressed in volunteer work and through financial contributions to many local, national and international concerns.
In keeping with the life and teaching of Jesus Christ, we joyfully and unconditionally welcome all people of any age, gender, race, culture, ability or sexual orientation into our community of faith and affirm the worth of all people as unique individuals made in God's image. We are open to the unique gifts that each person brings and invite each one to participate in the life of our church.
