What does it really mean to be the Church?
For the past year, our congregation has been praying, listening, studying Scripture, and discerning how God is calling us to welcome our neighbors with the love of Christ. Throughout this three-week series, we'll explore God's vision for a community where barriers come down, tables grow larger, and every person is invited to experience God's grace.
As we journey through Isaiah, the teachings of Jesus, and the story of the early church, we'll also share our new Welcome Statement—a reflection of our commitment to be a church where people can truly come as they are, be who they are, beloved children of God.

Summertime means ice cream, so our Mill Pond Manor outreach team took an ice cream bar to residents. On the preceding Friday, we left a gift bag with a granola bar, cheese and cracker packet, and cookie on the door of each resident along with an invitation for ice cream. If you'd like to be part of this ongoing neighborly ministry, please contact Sally Hendricks.

Young People's Worship Arts presents this year’s Musical Theater Camp performance for all ages: "The Agape League." At 9:30 and 11 am services.
High in the mountains in the impenetrable Agape Fortress, General Agape has called the mighty Agape League together to solve a crisis! Calling on the super-powered fruit of the spirit available to every follower of Christ, these heroes must also face an enemy within their own ranks when Ironblade forgets his superhero identity (self control).

You can ask challenging questions and wrestle with difficult decisions. You can thrive in a community where everyone is trying to figure out their purpose and live as faithful disciples of Christ."

Connect with a community of faith to find growth, purpose and a church family who can share God’s blessings with you in new ways.
