Our 50th Anniversary slogan: "Caring - Growing - Sharing; really describes us! In these 50 years we have had three installed pastors. |

We are a strong congregation that respects and enjoys a variety of spiritual gifts. The greatest gifts are the depth of our compassion and our desire to share Christ's love and nurture God's children.
Our church family is made of people with gifts that include: hospitality, nurturing, healing, teaching, helping, organizing, communicating and creativity. We have an active group of volunteers, including many professional people. From our different religious and cultural backgrounds, we are able to provide Christ-centered opportunities through education, fellowship and outreach that allow us to grow. We are blessed with a fusion of talents: from energetic youth to experienced seniors; from the leadership of our officers to the devotion of our congregation.
Our worship experience demonstrates our spiritual gifts in action, beginning with the warm and welcoming hand that greets you at the door. During a service, you will experience a celebration of the Lord, led by believers of all ages with imagination and creativity. Through Word, prayer, blended music, drama and visual arts, we worship God and share His love. After worship, we join in fellowship to nurture each other with food, drink and companionship.
Our ministry is driven by two great commands: love God and love your neighbors. We share God’s message of hope in Jesus Christ, as we encourage the spirit of love and reconciliation.
Being a Christ-centered church, we express love through the Biblical spoken Word of God’s salvation balanced with the social Gospel. The joy of the spoken Word of God is creatively displayed and enhanced in worship. We believe in a personal acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior and are encouraged to live the abundant life that Jesus came to give.
We seek understanding and discernment of God’s will in viewing life, creation, abortion and sexuality as taught in Scripture and displayed in science. God’s creation of the universe is a wondrous mystery. Life is a sacred gift from God. Prayerful life styles and Bible study are encouraged as the best ways to discern God’s yearning for us and to conduct our lives.
We are committed to loving one another. We welcome and cherish people from all walks of life. We encourage diversity in the leadership and the life of our church. We strive to be warm and caring within our church family, taking care of one another. We nurture each other as disciples in Christ and encourage spiritual growth and spiritual leadership. We are dedicated to our mission to care for people in our community, our nation and around our world.
We want the story of Christ's love to be retold and his love to be made anew in our church from generation to generation. |
