Welcome Message 

Dear Church Family,

How wonderful it is to share faith and life.  We who preach and teach receive God's profoundest inspiration from you. The pictorial Members & Friends directory reflects the truth that no believer stands alone.  We are a "Covenant Community", pledging our commitment to God and to each other.  Use this beautiful presentation as a tool for prayer, for caring contact and for celebrating the unique gifts of every sister and brother in our church family.  Jesus taught us that every person is precious and that by our love will the world know that we are his disciples.

In our neighborhoods right now, there are others searching for a personal-sized church that is both open-minded and warm-hearted.  Let us welcome you and invite you into our fellowship with joy, respect and love.

We who are privileged to serve you, Church Board and Staff, wish you blessings and peace.

 

Vision Statement

We believe that Jesus is Christ. In His spirit we worship and study the scriptures as His disciples. We reach out to our community with open arms, open minds and the open Bible.
