Enlist - About Us
We believe that Jesus Christ came into the world to reveal the fullness of God's love for us. And we celebrate that love as we receive the good news of God's grace through our praise and prayer, the gathering around table and font as we share in the holy sacraments, our mutual journey of faith and our commitment to the community. |
Encourage - You are Welcome Here
Ours is a welcoming congregation. We invite you to join us, as you are. And we encourage you to take part in the wide range of ministry opportunities offered here. Whether you desire to connect with God in Christ through worship, study, prayer or service, we have something for you. |
Engage - Your Spiritual Journey
Faith does not grow in a vacuum. Getting Engaged, Living Engaged and Staying Engaged are key to a joyful, gracious, generous and purposeful life. We would love to join with you in worship. And we invite you to share in our discipleship and mission programs, becoming a part of our faith community as we seek to meet and share Christ together. |

Lenten Soup & Bread Suppers
Throughout Lent, we will meet every Wednesday from 6:30 – 8pm for Soup & Bread, Prayers, and a short Bible Study through Holy Week. The bible study is based on the devotional guide, “A Clearing Season” by Sarah Parsons. Final Date: Wednesday, 4/16/25 Participation is free, but we ask that you sign up to participate so we can calculate how much soup to make. Volunteers are needed to prepare the soup (two varieties every Wednesday) and to help with the setup and cleanup. Looking forward to sharing this time with you. The Outreach committee, Heather Francis, Chair Rev. Jen |
