Who We Are
We are a welcoming congregation which offers various programs, fellowship activities, service opportunities, and small groups. We strive to be a family, forging close relationships as we care for one another and reach out to the local community and the larger world with the love of God. We seek to be followers of Jesus Christ. We come together to journey deeper into faith. We believe that this journey begins where we are and calls us to grow in our love for God and our neighbor as we seek to lead lives of faithfulness, integrity, purpose and joy. We invite you to join us! As a Christian church, we believe in God revealed as the Creator, the Son— who is Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us and ministers to us and through us. Our heritage, as a member of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), is of the Reformed Tradition in the Christian faith.
