About Us

Who We Are

We exist in response to God’s grace, comforted and challenged by the Gospel of Christ.

We are led by the fresh insights of the Holy Spirit to glorify God by recruiting new disciples, renewing the faith of existing disciples, and reaching out in love and service to the world God so loves.

We challenge people to think with the mind of Christ, love with the heart of Christ, and serve with the hands of Christ in every aspect of their lives. We gather in worship and mission celebrating our differences as we praise God with dignity, laughter, and joy.

We work with Christians and congregations of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and other Christian churches to respond to the good news of salvation and work toward God’s reign in all life and to be a telling presence of God’s goodness and grace.
