Welcome to Church
We believe, like generations before us, that God changes lives through his Church. Here we meet Jesus in Word and Sacrament, through majestic worship, biblical formation, intimate belonging, and mobilized compassion. Here we become more like Jesus for the sake of the world.

Recent Sermon
God with Us in the Pit
September 14, 2026
The Rt. Rev. Paul Donison
In the fifth week of The Gospel According to Joseph, Bishop Paul teaches that Joseph remains faithful during his time in prison, because he knows that God is: present with him, purposeful in the “pit experiences,” and trustworthy to fulfill his promises. Like Joseph, we come to our own “pit experiences” that may feel unjust, unending, and unexplained. Yet God invites us, like Joseph, to trust him even here.
Compassion
In the Great Commission, Jesus calls his followers to make disciples of all nations. We build up the worldwide church and mobilize our people and resources to respond to immediate and long-term needs.
Families
Nursery
We welcome infants and toddlers to the care of our professionally-staffed Nursery at all weekend services.
Children
Our Sunday School connects children with professional teachers and peers as they learn and worship.
Youth
Students worship with praise songs, readings from God’s Word, a short sermon, and a time of prayer.
