Organizing for Mission
Revisioning how we live God's love

In October of 2022 we began a process of revising our organizational structure in order to do ministry in a way that is faithful, adaptive, sustainable, and is ready to grow with us in the months and years ahead. This process is ongoing as we try and live into new ministry teams in a changed and changing context rooted in the good news of God's boundless love for the world in Jesus Christ.

Every Member a Minister
We all have a calling and vocation.

By shifting from a structure of committees and committee chairs to ministry teams and lead ministers we remember that all of us have been called, equipped, and sent by the Holy Spirit. We are all ministers of the gospel sharing the good news of God's redeeming love in word and deed, participating in God's mission of forgiveness, reconciliation, love and life for the world.

January 29, 2023 Event Recap
Every Neighbor Beloved
Everyone is created in God's image.

God creates every person in God’s own image. This means they are worthy of dignity, honor, respect, and enough resources and love to live life to the full. Jesus shows us time and time again that our definition of neighbor is too small when it does not include everyone. We are called to love our neighbor and help remind them they are beloved bearers of God’s own image loved by us and by God.
