About Our Church
Mission Statement:
We are a Christian community of believers who come together to grow in understanding and faith in Christ through prayer, study, worship and fellowship. We believe it is important to study and interpret together the Scripture under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and to integrate it in our lives and to encourage and to care for each other. We have chosen to affiliate with the Anabaptist/Mennonite community of churches, which is one of many faith communities in the Christian Church.
We seek to fulfill Christ's final instructions (Matt. 28:19-20) to tell others of the love and forgiveness of God as we have experienced it through Jesus Christ, to welcome all believers into the fellowship of the Church and to learn together with them to follow Christ's way. Christ's way includes working for peace and reconciliation among all people, and in all relationships. It means to reach out in words and actions to minister to those with needs, especially to the sick, the hungry, and the strangers.
Welcoming Statement:
We are a community where Jesus is our center, and all are welcomed unconditionally into the full life of our congregation.
We are rooted in the Anabaptist Christian faith that values peace and reconciliation, seeking to live out Jesus' teaching through love and service.
We are committed to the active inclusion of persons of every age, gender, race, ability, ethnicity and sexual orientation, inviting all to share and participate in the life, leadership and ministry of Jesus' church.
This statement reflects who and what we are as a congregation of Jesus followers. This statement challenges us to live out our faith in all of our interactions and welcome ALL into our faith community. May God's Spirit guide us as we seek to be a Welcoming and Inclusive community.
