Mission

To live the Word of God and love one another as Christ loves us.

Vision

To create a community of fellowship and support, a family that joins together in the power of prayer.

Outreach

To support ministries through both financial donations and volunteer work.

Worship

Sunday services begin at 8:00 a.m. in the chapel with The Book of Common Prayer Rite l. The early service has a small regular group of members who then meet for coffee and conversation.

This service is followed by a variety of activities including Bible study for adults and Christian education for youth.

At 10:00 a.m. a blended service is celebrated at the main altar using Prayer Book Rite 2 and a combination of hymnal and praise music. Coffee hour and fellowship for adults and youth follow in Sibley Hall.
