presence, formation, and love
The heart of our life together as a church is Presence, Formation, and Love. We intend to be with God, to grow to become like Jesus, and to live a life of active love in the Holy Spirit. You are invited to join our community and make these practices a priority in your own life. Explore the resources below to get started.
Presence
The life-giving presence of Jesus is available to you today. Our vision is to be a people committed to a daily practice of seeking God together.

We are all being formed through the forces we allow to shape us. Our vision is to be a people actively being formed in the way of Jesus.
Love
We are called to live a life of love by the Holy Spirit. Our vision is to be a people intentionally showing mercy, doing justice, and being generous.
