All Are Welcome.
You Are Welcome.

As people made one in the waters of baptism, we believe our lives and faith are strengthened by diversity. We strive to be a community that welcomes people of every ability, age, citizenship status, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, language, life circumstance, marital status, political perspective, race, and sexual orientation.

Whether you are a believer, doubter, or seeker, we openly welcome and value you. We celebrate God’s unconditional love and respond joyfully to your presence here.

In-Person Worship service on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m.

This is the night! The Easter Vigil is a wonderful bridge from the solemn reflection of Good Friday to the jubilant celebration of Easter morning. We gather on the front lawn to light the new fire then follow the procession of light into the darkened sanctuary, to hear stories of God’s salvation history. We are renewed in baptismal waters, celebrating with The WAY participants and hear the great Easter Proclamation, that Jesus Christ has overcome the powers of death. Finally, we share the Easter feast of victory. Nursery care and livestream will be available.
