I’m New

We are here for you as a loving community of Faith whatever your needs.

We offer a community of faith that can be your sanctuary in the difficulties of today’s living. We engage weekly in hopeful worship and genuine community belonging. Spiritual formation and service to the community are at the heart of our practices.

We hope that as you get to know us, you may find new ways to live and grow through the love of God. Our hope is that you (and your family) become actively in this loving, caring and inclusive community.
