Here are some answers to common questions.

As a Reconciling in Christ congregation of the ELCA, we believe that the gospel is God's gift to all people, shared unconditionally and without regard to race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic or family status, age, physical or mental abilities, outward appearance, or religious affiliation. We seek to live the truth written in Ephesians that Christ breaks down the dividing walls between us and makes us one.

During the shelter-in-place period, all our worship is taking place on-line. There is a Sunday morning Service of the Word. A bulletin can be downloaded so you can follow along and sing with the hymns.

We recognize that even when we begin to worship again in-person, there will be people unable to physically join us, so an on-line option will continue to be available.

Expectations for those attending in-person will be posted to the website when they are available.

We will continue to offer a Wednesday evening Compline service on-line.

During the summer of 2020, there are several options for Vacation Bible School for children. Please see the Sunday School section of the website for additional information.

We welcome all children to our activities. Pastor Jason Churchill meets regularly via Zoom with students in the congregation. If this is something you would like to include your children in, please contact the church office, 652-7623.
