ADULT & CHILDREN'S EDUCATION: 9:30-10:15
(We will not have children's education during June, July and Aug.)
WHO ARE WE?
God calls us to be followers of Jesus Christ, and, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to grow as a community of grace, joy, and peace, so that God's healing and hope flow through us to the world.
We are a family of Christ's disciples coming from many different cultural and economic backgrounds. We come together to praise, worship, and serve God.
Looking to the Holy Spirit for guidance, and the scriptures for wisdom and inspiration, it is our heartfelt desire to model Christ's example of faithfulness, service, healing, and stewardship. As a congregation of a historic Peace Church, we work as agents of change to bring love, reconciliation, and justice to our world.
We invite all, recognizing each will come with unique gifts, talents, and blessings as well as desires, disabilities and deficencies. We seek to identify and utilize our individual talents as we encourage others in theirs. We strive to celebrate our differences rather than letting these be a source of division. In everything we do and everything we are, we hope to bring glory to our loving God, the Creator of all.
