Our ministry emphasizes worship, outreach and service. Every Sunday we gather to praise God through inspiring and creative music, challenging and uplifting preaching, and a special time for young worshipers. We come together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and go forth encouraged to live-out our faith in our community and in our world. We welcome and invite all people to explore with us the reality of life, and to connect together with the Divine Source of Life. As followers of Jesus Christ, we seek to fully love God, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We will receive you warmly but will not overwhelm you. You are free and encouraged to investigate our church and spiritual matters on your own terms and at your own pace. No pressure. Guaranteed.
We have made "Opening Doors" real with our new addition. We await you!
