About Us
We are one community of faith - welcoming growing serving
We are reformed and always reforming.
What makes us different than other churches in town?
We know we are flawed, loved and forgiven.
We are a congregation of widely differing opinions on many topics of concern -- very Presbyterian. It is necessary for us to listen closely enough to each that we love one another more than our own ideas or theology. When we love our sister, brother, friend, neighbor, antagonist, enemy, then we are drawn closer to God. It is simply impossible for us to love God without loving those around us (Thanks Dorotheus!)
