We are a Christ-centered family on mission for Jesus Christ. This vision of family will shape how we do what we do and how we deploy the resources God entrusts to us. We are a growing, multigenerational, historic church with a top-notch preschool. In everything we do, we are striving to love God, love people and make disciples.
What makes us unique is that many in our church family have been here for decades. There is a high level of ownership among many of our congregation and a deep commitment to being a church family. We have excellent worship that is expressed through traditional/liturgical services as well as a modern worship service. There is also a high value around discipleship and education with nearly half of our Sunday attendance participating in Sunday classes.
Our current accountant has served faithfully for 10 years and is retiring this Summer. We hope to provide transitional overlap in this position to ensure an excellent handoff.
