Our Vision
A church for all people.
Our Core Values
Inclusiveness, Integrity, and Service.
Our campus has been certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. A wildlife habitat garden attracts birds, butterflies, and other neighborhood wildlife. Native plants provide food eaten by a variety of wildlife. Serinitypond provides a place for drinking, bathing, and breeding. Undeveloped wooded areas are resources for wildlife to reproduce, and to protect and nourish their young. Maintaining the grounds in such a way expresses our commitment to environmental stewardship.
Take a walk along our Walking in Love path and experience it for yourself.
