Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,
and anyone who welcomes me
welcomes the one who sent me.


Matthew 10: 39-41

welcomeWelcome, newcomers and guests

We invite you to explore our website and learn about our church. You are always welcome to join us at one of our 4 Sunday worship services: 8:30 am Contemporary, 11 am Classical, 4 pm Open Circle (Native American) and 6 pm Jazz. For more information about each service, please visit the worship services page.

We are a socially active, welcoming, and affirming church that embraces diversity and welcomes people of all ages, cultures and walks of life. We are drawn together by God’s love and a commitment to serve our Creator, our neighbors, and one another. We passionately seek a deep relationship with Jesus, and work to create a meaningful life dedicated to following his example of service to others. Central to our path is a commitment to peace and social justice.

Whether you are considering a Christian path or are a seasoned person of faith, we hope you’ll join us at the Sunday service of your choice. Here's how:

About the services: Each of our 4 worship services is unique. Visit the Services page for information to help you to decide which service that best suits your worship preference. Over time, though, we encourage you to visit each one to understand the many ways we worship.

Worship for children: We have a full program available for youngsters from preschool to high-school age. For more details, check out the Learning page. Sunday School is held from 9:50 am to 10:50 am between morning services so that children also can worship with their families at one of the regular morning service times. Child care is provided for children up to 5 years old during the 8:30 am and 11 am services.
