We believe that God's mission for this church is for us to make disciples for Christ by inviting persons to discipleship in a welcoming community of faith and assurance, by nurturing our growth as Christians in worship, fellowship, and service, and by sending Christian disciples to serve the needs of our community, our nation, and our world.

We are . . . many age groups and diverse backgrounds . . . blessed by children, nurturing them in the faith . . . mission minded . . . rooted in our community, in ministry with others.
