Bringing the Light of Christ to All Creation
This is more than our tag line. This is our Vision. We are focused on living and communicating our mission to bring the Light of Christ to all Creation. We grow and thrive and remain vital through communication, stewardship and prayer, supporting our pastors, staff, volunteers and congregational community.
"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house."
Matthew 5:14-16
