About Us
Our Beliefs
What binds us together is God’s reconciling and forgiving love, revealed most perfectly in Jesus Christ. Each of us is equally in need of God’s grace. As modern disciples of Jesus we engage in scripture, prayer, worship, service, conversation, study, and fun as we seek to live out our baptismal callings as beloved children of God.
