ABOUT US

OUR VISION

To be a faithful, growing church, that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice.

WHAT WE DO

As Disciples, we are called together around two essentials of faith: a belief in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and that all Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, study, prayer, and are expected to extend that freedom to others.

OUR COMMUNITY

We are a Disciples of Christ congregation.
