Becoming Like Jesus For the Sake of the World
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
You Are Salt and Light
February 10, 2026
The Rt. Rev. Paul Donison
Bishop Paul preaches on what it means to be salt and light in the world for the sake of Jesus. While the call to be salt and light can feel overwhelming, and our inadequacies in fulfilling this call can feel burdensome, there is no condemnation in this call. In fact, we know that the salt and light come from Christ himself—and in him, we preserve and restore the world he loves.
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.
