OUR BELIEFS

We are united through Christ

We believe in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Our Mission: Growing in Spirit! Serving God's World! Sharing the love, grace & peace of Jesus with all!


Our Vision: A joyous, caring, safe place to learn about GOD, to grow more CHRIST like, to lovingly reach out to others & promote grace, justice and peace.


God is the creator of the universe and giver of all that is good. God is the savior—known boldly and intimately in Jesus and his life, death, and resurrection—who shows us how to live and love. God is the Spirit who enables us to make a difference in our world and in the lives of others. We believe that grace is the love, honesty, and compassion that God gives and shows us in Jesus. It’s how Jesus saves us, heals us, sets us free, and increases our capacity for love. We believe that we need each other. Whether single, married/partnered, divorced or widowed, it’s a lot easier to follow God with friends than it is by ourselves.​
