About Us

Welcome to our website!  For 100 years, we have been blessed by God.  Our prayer is that we will be a blessing to you.  We are people who are learning to seek God, listening for his direction and our prayer is that we may follow his Spirit.  We want to grow into people who are:

1.    Grace-Driven- We celebrate God’s love and free forgiveness which all of us need every day to live with meaning.

2.  Outward Focused- Our priority is to be about other people, each other, and all about God in this area and in our world.

3.  A Safe Place to Meet Jesus- All of us can lose our way and we want to be a safe place and people for all of us to find our way to Jesus without being judged.

Our unique call is to live out God’s desire to use all of us as his loving heart, alive and serving in this place in his name.  We celebrate all generations in this family of faith. 

Our worship is reverent, authentic and personal.  We are part of the Reformed Church of America.  We respect your spiritual background and journey.

If you are curious about Jesus, faith or church and would just like to talk,

If you have questions about your life or if you feel alone and that God cannot find you,

If you are wondering if God might be leading you to explore our family of faith,
