Our Mission

To cultivate a community where Christian friendship can flourish, to provide a welcoming place for individuals and families to grow and worship together, and to expand God’s kingdom by sharing our gifts and testimonies.

The United Church of Christ philosophy is:

“Jesus didn’t reject people. Neither do we.”
