About Us

We welcome everyone, no exceptions, no kidding.

You're welcome just as you are. Your thoughts are welcome. Your doubts are welcome. We're all in this together. God is here, ready to connect with you in a fresh way.

Sunday school for pre-K through 6th grade is from 9 until 10:15 am. Confirmation classes and post-confirmation student discussions are held at the same time. Adult education discussions are from 9 until 10 am on Sundays.
