Pastor Katie Newkirk

We are a loving, welcoming church committed to living and loving like Jesus.

Who We Are

We encourage and help each other grow in our individual discipleship, serving together to meet the needs of our neighbors. We are a genuine, authentic community building relationships with people where and as we find them. Everyone is welcomed here – whatever your gender or generation or orientation, wherever you have been or are yet to be, whatever you have done or left undone, Jesus loves you and so do we.

EASTER SPECIAL OFFERING 2024
For those of you who are new to our church or maybe a first-time visitor, we have a tradition of a special Easter offering to celebrate the risen Christ. This is an offering that is made in addition to your regular giving to the church. We will be collecting this offering at our Easter worship service on March 31st. When you enter the sanctuary, each family will be given an Easter egg with a surprise treat inside. You can remove the treat and then place your Easter offering in the egg.
As you leave the worship service, you will put your egg in a basket.
If you cannot be with us at our Easter worship service, you can make your Easter offering online, bring it to the church office, or mail it to the church. We will collect the offering through the following week until April 7 th .
