In care for one another, we are
following protocols and mandates on masking, physical distancing, and
reopening.
We
do not yet have a set date for physically reopening the church building.
However, the church is always active, as God is always among us. Continue to check out this webpage, and
contact us with any questions.
Fear is, somehow or
other, the archenemy itself. It crouches in people’s hearts. It hollows out
their insides, until their resistance and strength are spent and they suddenly
break down. Fear secretly gnaws and eats away at all the ties that bind a
person to God and to others . . . .
But the human being
doesn’t have to be afraid; we should not be afraid . . . . We name the name of the One who makes
the evil inside us recoil, who makes fear and anxiety themselves tremble with
fear and puts them to flight.
We name the One who
overcame fear and led it captive in the victory procession, who nailed it to
the cross and committed it to oblivion; we name the One who is the shout of
victory of humankind redeemed from the fear of death—Jesus Christ, the
Crucified and Living One. He alone is Lord over fear; it knows him as its
master; it gives way to him alone.

sanctuary worship every Sunday by June.
As
we are able to regather for other activities, we will post details as they are
available.
GATHER
We are a Reconciling in Christ
Congregation. As such, we uphold the words of the Apostle
Paul: “In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave
nor free, there is neither male nor female.” (Galatians 3:28) Christ has
made us all one. We believe that this oneness extends to all persons
regardless of gender identity, race, color, creed, national origin, sexual
orientation, gender identities, or religious, economic, or political
affiliation.
All are Welcome!
GROW
We grow in the grace given in Christ
and his call to service through:
Regular Worship.
A Monday morning 11:00 Bible Study
offered when we are not physically distanced.
A Choir for High Schoolers-Adults
offered in non-quarantine times.
Events featuring speakers on a
variety of topics related to Christian growth and outreach.
Energetic and Open Fellowship and
Outreach.
GO
In this time of physical distancing,
we are collecting food for the Food Bank in a Bin located right outside the
front doors of the church. Food is delivered to the Food Bank on a weekly
basis. In the quarantine, our church office is open from 10-2 on Mondays
and Thursdays. Masks
are available to take in the Fellowship Hall, along with patterns and materials
