Who We Are
We desire to walk on a path of discipleship that enables us to Encounter God, Grow in Faith and Share the Light of Christ.
We are:
a loving and accepting, friendly, welcoming and autonomous Christian community of the United Church of Christ, with a rich history of sharing diverse theological beliefs.
Our faith is over 2,000 years old, but our thinking is not.
God is Still Speaking.
