Welcome! We're a small church doing BIG things with the help of God!
We believe that God loves, values and embraces each person as a beloved child. Therefore, we welcome people of every age, size, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, ability and challenge. We welcome people from all faith traditions, those with doubts, and those with no sense of faith at all. We also commit ourselves to the pursuit of environmental, economic, social and racial justice.
Our mission is to meet God, practice community, serve Christ and live generously!
“When Jesus wanted to change the world, he didn't gather an army. He called twelve ordinary disciples. That's the pattern. And so Jesus ends with a cup of cold water. It doesn't make the evening news. No one writes a history book about it. We didn't even see the person who delivered it. But Jesus did."
The gospel is not that every choice leads where we hoped. The gospel is that God's provision is larger than our choices.
Again and again, when the future appears to hang by a thread, God is already there. Abraham sees only one son or the other. God sees a future for both. Abraham sees scarcity. God sees abundance. Abraham sees an impossible choice. God sees a promise still unfolding.
And that future does not rest in our hands. It rests in God's hands.
"The disciples are not sent out to create the kingdom. They are sent out to join the kingdom that God is already bringing near. One pair of hands can only reach so far. But a thousand hands filled with the compassion of Christ can change a community."
The congregation celebrated with cake and presented Dr. Pridgen with an engraved crystal plaque thanking her for her leadership.
