What We Believe
I've been here about a year now and discover something new and wonderful here just about every day!
God is at work here! Come and visit on a Sunday and see for yourself. We're gifted with great musicians, wonderful teens with spirits of substance, children who want to share and a team of folk who never tire of looking for ways to bring blessing and hope to others. We have elders who meet each week to pray for lots of people by name, plenty of great cooks, and a men's group that not only knows how to use a great smoker to keep us all in barbeque (and keeps supplying BBQ to all sorts of folk). We have some fabulous Bible scholars who teach Sunday School (we call it Disciple U) and Bible studies. (In fact, some of our men gather every Saturday morning at 7:30 for Bible Study and prayer.)
There are all kinds of folks here. Some are struggling with their faith, some are new to faith, some have been around the block a time or two and live lives of faith that inspire and challenge the rest of us. There's a place here for you.
We are part of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). That means that we are theologically diverse, but we focus on Christ as our Lord and Savior. We pray, play, worship, sing, serve, study, eat and more - so don't be surprised if we laugh, cry, or eat while you're here!
Come on over and visit on Sunday! We'll be looking for you!

Jesus is Christ. Scripture bears witness that in Jesus God has reconciled the world to himself. As our Messiah, Jesus is God's anointed for our salvation.
Open Communion. The Lord's Supper is celebrated in weekly worship and it is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
The Oneness of the Church. All Christians are called to be one in Christ and to seek opportunities for common witness and service.
Freedom of Belief. We believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Matthew 16.16). We also believe that Christians are free to follow their conscience guided by Bible study, the Holy Spirit, reason, and prayer. We are expected by God to extend that freedom to others.
Importance of Scripture. We believe scripture bears witness to God's Word who is Jesus Christ. The Bible is a living witness that can be interpreted faithfully in light of history, tradition, and the light of human reason. The biblical witness affirms God's love for creation, acknowledges the depths of human sinfulness and the pain of division, and tells the story of salvation.
Baptism by Immersion. In baptism, the old self-centered life is set aside, washed away, and a new life of trust in God begins. We practice baptism by immersion while respecting and acknowledging other baptismal traditions.
The Ministry of Believers. Both clergy and laypersons lead in worship, service, and spiritual growth.
