You – just as you are, just as God created you to be – are welcome here!

All are welcome to join us for worship on Sundays at 9:00 am (online option available) and Wednesdays at 6:35 pm.

Worship during Lent and Easter

Lent is a season of quiet reflection, honest confession, and renewed hope. We remember our human frailty and our deep need for God’s grace, trusting in Jesus who forgives, restores, and gives new life. During these forty days—and every day—God is at work redeeming the world and drawing us closer. You don’t have to earn salvation or have it all figured out. You’re simply invited to come, encounter Christ, and live in the freedom of God’s grace.

Ash Wednesday: "Faith Is..." 

On Ash Wednesday we are marked with ashes—a sign of our death and sorrow for sin. The ashes trace a cross on our forehead, where the baptismal water first marked us with God’s grace. 

Sunday Series: Conversations with Jesus

On Sundays during Lent, we will join the conversation between Jesus and different conversation partners. How does each person inform a contemporary life of discipleship? How might Jesus respond now to our own questions, confusions, and need for healing?  Readings and silent reflection, and sharing will shape these holy conversations of Lent.

Wednesday Series: By Faith

What is faith? The text from Hebrews 11:1 defines it in this way: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” In this series, we will journey through the faith of people like Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the Israelites, culminating with Jesus, “the perfecter of our faith,” and his path to the cross.

Learn and Grow with Grace

In his ministry, Jesus invited people to “come and see” – to experience God’s love, grace, and forgiveness – and then to share this good news with all.  God gathers us into community to learn and grow together, and then sends us out into the world, to love and serve our neighbors in Jesus’ name.

All are welcome to journey together as followers of Jesus and share God’s gracious love and grace in Christ with each other and all people. Faith formation and discipleship offerings for all ages include Sunday Forum, Tuesday Bible study, Wednesdays with Grace, and more. We hope you will join us soon!
