As an engaged church we respond to our neighbors’ needs.

In our local and national mission outreach, we create an atmosphere of acknowledgement, acceptance and support by building on our members’ past and existing passionate interests, skills, knowledge and commitments.

Congregational commitments to local programs are deeply rooted in the church’s formative role and members’ current active engagements.
