About Us (click to jump to section)
Worship in our Community
We are a congregation of people from a variety of Christian traditions and backgrounds. Together, we grow in faith, while also expressing honest questions and doubt.
Our worship style combines historical Christian liturgy and music with contemporary. All the words and music are shown on screens, making it easy for everyone, new or old, to join in. Dress is casual, and we enjoy a time of fellowship together after our worship service.

One way we fulfill the mission of the church is to support specific missionary families around the world. Every month on the first Sunday, we collect offerings to support these missionaries in the same service that we celebrate communion, emphasizing the way that communion unites all Christians together in Christ. You can read a short biography of the missionary families we currently support below.

We support the following organizations in two ways. Each Sunday we collect a second offering for a local ministry organization, and we have made a pledge to several of these organizations in our budget. Often these are organizations that we have a connection to either through joint projects or by members of the church who work or volunteer at the organization. You can read a brief description of each below, and find the schedule of the second offerings here.
