Mission Statement
To serve Christ as missionaries @ home, @ work and on the road in between. 

      What Do We Believe 

Each of us asks four basic life questions:

• Who Am I? (Identity)
• Where Did I Come From? (Origin)
• Why Am I Here? (Purpose)
• Where Am I Going? (Destiny)

We believe God in the scriptures gives us story after story of people trying to find their way to the answers of these questions. God does not love us when we arrive. God loves us on the road in between as we seek to find love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and self control. The church was created to help us along that path. Jesus Christ offers us R & R which stands for Redemption and Relationship.

By the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, we find hope and healing for today and tomorrow.

As Disciples of Christ, we are a church that is open to all who seek God. We have beliefs and practices in common with all sorts of Christians. These apparent similarities sometimes are superficial, sometimes fundamental. We baptize by immersion, so we look like Baptists. We have Communion every Sunday, so we look a bit like Roman Catholics. We stress the ministry of the laity, so we look a little like Quakers. Our congregations call their pastors rather than accepting assigned ministers, so in that respect we look like Presbyterians. We rely heavily on preaching and teaching, so we look somewhat like Methodists. We have congregational government, so we look a lot like the United Church of Christ.

We are a safe place for you to ask questions, to seek your own path, and to join Christ in seeking and rescuing others!
