We are a Caring and Sharing Community in Christ and we hope that you will consider being a part of our family! With a spirit of hospitality, we seek to faithfully affirm all forms of diversity in leadership, worship and ministry. The doors of our church, as well as our hearts, are open wide to you and yours. Blessings in Christ, Pastor Brett Becker CARING SERVING ALL IN LOVE Being a loving family-in-faith of all ages means that we work, play, learn, pray, serve and laugh together. Remarkable friendships develop across generations, peer groups and backgrounds as we gather to pursue interests or embrace our calling to serve in our community and world. The teaching of Christ is the source of our spiritual nourishment and the reason we reach out to others. As part of the Presbyterian Church (USA) we serve in mission both in our local community and in the world. Whether it is worshipping, singing in choir, teaching, providing mentors for our youth, serving young families through our preschool, sharing concerns on the prayer chain, providing meals at a local shelter or helping a world-wide mission effort, we are responding in gratitude to God’s great love in Christ. SHARING We welcome, connect with and engage our neighbors as we share the love of Jesus Christ. We seek to be a resource, sharing our facility with non-profits including a Hispanic worshipping community Ministerios Llamada Final, and serving as a disaster assistance site.
