We are a group of men, women, and children
gathered to grow in our faith and understanding of God’s call in our lives
through Jesus Christ. We are a Christian fellowship that invites all people
to join us on this faith journey. Our community encourages the freedom of
expression from our varied backgrounds, no matter what culture or age.
Yet, with all of our differences there is a coming together as one at the
table of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this unity we agree to seek and
follow the Word of God as made known to us through the witness and
teaching of Jesus Christ. With this simple understanding we work together
for growth in Truth, Grace, Wholeness, and Peace in ourselves, in our
faith community, and in the wider community in which we live.
As a community formed by the living presence of
Jesus Christ, we embrace Christ’s teachings and regard each human being as
a sacred child of God, to be treated with respect and dignity. We welcome
to this fellowship all those who seek to build, by God’s direction and
grace, lives, based upon personal integrity, compassion for others, and
faithfulness in human relationships. The presence and spiritual gifts of
each person are treasured regardless of age, marital status, physical
ability, gender, race, sexual orientation, economics, politics, or
cultural background. The services and ministries of this congregation are
available to all. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to break down the
barriers that divide us as a human family and to bring healing to all of
God’s creation.
