BAPTISM

Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are initiated into Christ’s holy church and believe that in baptism God initiates a covenant with us. We baptize by sprinkling water on the head. We would love to baptize you or your children. Please click and fill out the form and we will contact you soon to put you on our schedule and to answer any questions you may have.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

 

We believe that God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is all-powerful and all-loving and seeks to be in relationship with us.

 

We believe in the mystery of salvation through the gift of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. This gift is available to all persons. God became human in Jesus of Nazareth; and his life, death, and resurrection demonstrates God's redeeming love.

 

We believe the Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work. 

 

We believe that all people are made in the image of the Creator. Like God we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create. 

 

We believe the church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. 

 

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is the primary authority for our faith and practice. 

 

We believe that in baptism, we experience a direct encounter with the presence of God in three significant ways: through grace, through relationship, and through the faith community.

 

We believe that Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, is a means of grace in which we offer ourselves to God in praise and thanksgiving through the receiving of the bread and cup. We believe that the Communion table is the Lord’s table, and therefore all are invited to participate.

 

OUR MISSION

Connecting the world with God's love.

 

OUR VISION

To be known as faithful followers of Jesus Christ in serving and welcoming our neighbors. 

 

LIVING OUR FAITH

We live in community as we GATHER, GROW, GO, & GIVE together.

 

We GATHER each week to worship God together. 

 

We GROW in our faith by connecting with a small group that encourages us to learn more about God. 

 

We GO out into the community and the world to serve and share God’s love with others. 

 

We GIVE of our financial resources and time as a spiritual discipline and in response to God’s generosity to us.
