Worship ~ Connect ~ Grow ~ Serve
A welcoming community of faith, seeking to follow Jesus by nurturing one another,
reaching out to our neighbors, and making a difference in our community and beyond.
God has told you, O mortal, what is good,
and what does our God require of you
but to do justice and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God?
—Micah 6:8
