Our church's mission
Inviting all to know Christ,
grow in Christ,
and share Christ's love
In weekly
worship:
- traditional worship in our early service (in the
chapel),
- more relaxed and spirited worship at our second
service (in the sanctuary),
- casual worship at The Bridge in the Lower Level.
In fellowship, with a variety of events
and activities, including FEAST (Friends Enjoying a Shared Table) dinners,
a variety of meals, outings, and events, church league softball and basketball,
and more.
In service,
as we serve our neighborhood through volunteering at Beardsley School and
our community through a wide variety of activities.
In prayer,
as we encourage and support the prayer life of our people through classes,
seminars, and our prayer chain.
In children's education, as we nurture

of service projects, retreats, and fun events.
In adult spiritual growth, through
a variety of small groups and adult classes, on Sunday mornings, Wednesday

And in many, many other ways.
