​join our community

Those who join will receive pastoral care and support from the church community. 

Those who join can participate, lead, and share their voices on matters affecting our community. 

Those who join will receive a booklet with pictures and contact information of those in our church community.

our community commitment

Because we follow Jesus, our primary and specific community commitment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Here's what that looks like in our community: 

We GATHER and develop deep relationships

• Attend Sunday worship service – 10:15am 
• Join a small group. We offer intergenerational house groups as well as affinity groups based on age or interest. 
• Come to our all-church get-togethers and parties.
• Sign up for updates on our church blog and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
• Come hang out at the church office. We are open during the school year from 8am-10pm, Monday through Friday.

We GIVE our money, time, and talents

• We give money to support the church every week (in person, through bank drafts, or through Venmo or Zelle).
• We give money to support benevolence organizations annually on Benevolence Sunday (in the fall) and to support mission efforts on Missions Sunday (in the spring).
• We use our time and personal talents in various ministries led by ministry staff and servant leaders (and are open to new ministries!).

We GROW individually and together

• We study the Bible on our own as well as in weekly small groups.
• We pray on our own and when we gather together.
