Who we are
Welcome! Worship 9:30 am Sunday
If you are visiting with us, and you are looking for a friendly church… where you will be loved and accepted regardless of your age, class, race, ethnicity or orientation… where you will be challenged to reflect on your beliefs, acknowledge your doubts, ask your questions, and grow in your faith… where God’s desire for compassion, healing, reconciliation, justice and joy is preached… where you are given the opportunity to put your faith into action through effective outreach ministries… then we hope to get to know you as a friend.
No matter who you are, or where you are in your life journey… you are welcome here!
Our Mission
We are a healing community. Most of us know what it’s like to be broken or wounded in our relationships, in our personal lives, in our connections with churches and other religious communities. We are finding healing for ourselves and from difficulties in the past in our congregation.
If you are searching for a safe place to find healing from your wounds – no matter what the source – you will find in us a community that cares, supports and walks with you on your journey toward wholeness.
Our outreach into the community grows out of that commitment to healing. We support a women’s shelter, local food shelf, “Feed My Starving Children,” Crop Walk, and other programs that help people we may be suffering. You will find plenty of opportunities for short term service projects that make a difference in the lives of others.
We are an open and affirming community, providing a safe space to individuals from all races, spiritual backgrounds or sexual orientations.
