#WeChooseWelcome
Like most church congregations, we worship, study, pray and care for one another. Our passion is working together to try to make the world a better place. By doing tangible, concrete things that improve people’s lives, we honor God and live out what Jesus meant when he said, “Love God and love your neighbor.” If that resonates with you, we hope you’ll come visit.
