Our Church's Mission 
​We are a small group, striving to be open and accepting, sometimes disagreeing yet loving one another, wading through the joy and pain of spiritual growth, who pledge to worship God together, follow the example of Jesus, embody God's holy spirit, support our church family, and serve our neighbors near and far.

This Congregation acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous People who lived on and cultivated these lands  for millennia from which we now all benefit.
