A Family of Faith

We are a family of faith,

called to celebrate God’s message

of love and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

Guided by the living Word of God, we nurture one another

through worship, prayer, teaching and fellowship.

Led by the Holy Spirit, we reach out

with hearts and hands to those in need,

seeking to inspire hope in an ever-changing

community and world.
