JOIN US FOR WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY AT 10:15 AM

You may be new to our community and looking for a church home, or you may have been in the area for a while and discovered our openness and warmth as a congregation. In any case, we welcome you and extend an invitation to join our church family.

We are a community of people with diverse faith backgrounds and traditions, including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Southern Baptist, Presbyterian, Jewish, Congregationalist and Unitarian. While diverse in background, we are united in striving to understand God's will. We value each person's unique perspective and recognize that we are all pilgrims, each on our own faith journey.

We have freedom; we enjoy the privilege and wrestle with the responsibility of interpreting how the scriptures apply to our daily lives. We are bound together by our struggle to build a covenant with God and support one another even while we may be taking different paths.

We seek unity and strength in the body of Christ and believe that we are all called to carry out his ministry. We believe in a loving and forgiving God and in Jesus Christ as God's ultimate expression of faithfulness and love. We profess to our church's Covenant. We recognize the Bible as the basis of faith and practice, and hold that we are called to live in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We are an Open and Affirming Church. All are welcome in the full life our community regardless of their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, economic status, ability or disability.

We are a Just Peace Church. We are a community of worship and celebration centered on the Good News of Jesus Christ and His message of justice and peace.

We are a Green Church. We recognize that one of the most significant challenges facing humanity is the achievement of a sustainable earth. As a Green Church, we welcome this responsibility. Being faith-filled and responsive stewards of God's creation, we are committed, through education and action, to the environmental well-being of our planet. Imagining a brighter future, we are committed to treading more lightly, leaving a smaller footprint, and living more simply that others may simply live.

We are THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST where God is still speaking,
