About Our Church

A community wrapped in love and built on faith

What We Believe

We are a Christian community built upon four commandments that undergird our common life. We imagine these commandments as arrows pointing outward, in the four cardinal directions, carrying our faith to the ends of the earth. And we imagine them pointing inward, toward the center of our being, toward the center of the Cross.
Picture

The First Commandment is to Love.

To love the Lord our God with all our heart and mind and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Picture

The second commandment is to Grow.

To grow in our faith. To grow into the fullness that God intends for us.

Picture

The third commandment is to ​Serve.

To serve the Lord with gladness. To serve "the least of these."

Picture

The fourth commandment is to ​Go.

To "go forth for God." To "go in peace, to love and serve the Lord."

Picture

Our Staff

As a community of faith we rely on the following individuals to guide us as we seek to live out our faith.
