We
Believe

We believe in the life-changing love of God: Father (Parent), Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus is the living word of God, and the scriptures are the inspired image of who Jesus is and what he taught. We believe grace is the heart of the Christian story: God loves us, forgives us, and calls us to grow in community. We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to make disciples, do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.  We believe every person is created in the image of God, and we fully embrace everyone from all backgrounds, races, abilities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

WE ARE A UNITED METHODIST

Our Mission

Connecting people to the God who desperately loves all so we can live as disciples in Christian community.

Our 5 Practices

We believe what we do (how we live) is more important than what we say (our social media, t-shirts or tattoos). There are 5 Spiritual Practices that help us grow closer to God, and as we grow closer to God they help us live life like we were created:
Worshipping
Growing
Giving
Serving
Inviting
