Our Ministries & Activities
We often say that the mission of our congregation is to help people discover and carry out their "ministry" in the world, to help people discover their passions, learn what makes them come alive. We divide our church activities according to numerous general "ministry areas." This page provides links to each of them. Whether it’s working in our church garden, teaching our children, joining a spiritual deepening group or attending worship, each of these ministry areas provides avenues for spiritual growth and making a difference in the world. We end each worship service with the phrase, "may we be bold in our living and our loving." These ministries and their activities have made such bold and meaningful living more possible for us. We hope the same for you.
– Kaaren and Scott, Parish Co-Ministers
