Who We Are

Having placed our faith in Christ Jesus the Lord, we are a community learning to walk in him, to be rooted and built up in him, and to abound in thanksgiving (Colossians 2:6-7). We hope to learn and experience what it means to give our full, trusting allegiance to Jesus. We want to know and practice how authentic faith in him is lived in the daily context of friendships, family, work, rest and culture – to the end that, together, we become a joyful expression of the Kingdom of God.

This way of living is a well-worn path which has been faithfully passed down through the ages as we walk with and encourage one another — basing our hopes, priorities, and choices on the truth which God reveals by His Spirit through the Scriptures.

Following Jesus takes us on an adventure which often requires holding on tight, with sometimes uncomfortable challenges to our natural inclinations and rejection of the latest conventional wisdom.

We believe God has blessed each person with gifts, natural and spiritual. When we in turn bless one another from these giftings, we experience a joy and contentment for which we were created.

On Sunday mornings, we seek and yield to a foretaste of heaven as we welcome one another, teach our children, offer hospitality, join hearts and voices in worship, pray together (sometimes in lament), affirm what is true, and are nourished by the Spirit, Word and Sacraments.

In summary, we are a part of The Church, Christ’s Body on earth and His Bride in the life to come. This may sound very grand (it is!), but it is also fully present in the seemingly small things — holding out hope and light for the lost and weary, giving humbly and generously to those in need, bearing one another’s burdens, being good stewards of creation, and using our lives to magnify what is good, true, and beautiful. If this sounds good to you, welcome home.
