Vision Statement
We are a community of believers seeking to follow the teachings and example of Christ in all of life. We gather to worship God, to pray, to study the Bible, and to encourage one another to faithfulness. We strive to care for the spiritual, physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being of all whose lives we touch. By our verbal witness and the example of our lives, we call people to faith in Christ and to mature discipleship. We are actively engaged in bringing justice and peace to our local and world community in the name of Christ. We value the strength and richness that diversity brings to our church.
We seek to carry out our vision statement through a variety of programs that include the following:
- Sunday morning worship service
- Sunday school for ages two through adult
- Mid-week club for children grades 1-6
- Youth group
- College and career
- Small group Bible study and fellowship groups for adults
- Cradle roll for parents of babies and young children
