Our roots are in the Anabaptist experience of the Protestant Reformation. We teach peacemaking, believers baptism, and following the teachings of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. We value the community of faith as a central part of the Gospel.
Average Sunday attendance is about 70 adults and 25 children. We cultivate ministries of worship, nurture and outreach. Some of us come from Mennonite backgrounds, while others of us grew up in other Protestant, Roman Catholic, or Jewish religious traditions, or none at all. We are students, teachers, social workers, homemakers, missionaries, artists, construction workers, computer programmers, health-care workers, and other professionals. Our common faith in God through Jesus Christ binds us together.
As followers of Christ, our task is to open the door and accept, in love and humility, whomever the Spirit draws inside. And so we welcome people of any ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, status, physical or mental ability to join us on this journey drawing closer to God.

Sunday School (Sept-May)
Pastoral Team is monitoring the situation and will be in communication with whether the Church Retreat will go forward. Meanwhile, here is information about the retreat:
Our Annual Church Retreat is the weekend of April 17, 18 and 19.
The whole congregation is invited to our retreat, Friday evening through Sunday lunch. In addition to discussion time, the weekend will include time for fun, games, fellowship, informal social interaction and conversation. There are a variety of sleeping options from camping to cabins to motel and meals are provided.
Lent is a time when we may give up something we enjoy in order to be more present to God, others, and ourselves. This season asks us to peel away some of the numbing layers of life and to sit with what we find in the barrenness–from struggle to contentment and all that is in between. Lent invites us to notice Jesus in those places, and reflect on his life on earth and the difficult journey to the cross.
