Our Mission is to know, love and serve God wherever we are and to inspire others to do the same by our thoughts, words and deeds.
Our Vision is to be a church responding to human hurts and hopes within its walls and beyond.
To live out our Mission and our Vision we have established Ministries in which members of our congregation participate. We believe that every Christian has been gifted and called by God to serve Him and others. One of the goals of Session is to encourage congregational ownership of and participation in our church ministries. The more congregational members we have participating in ministries the stronger the sense of community will be within our congregation and the stronger our witness will be in the community and globally.
