Our Ministries & Activities
The mission of our church is:
Creating connection by
listening to our deepest selves,
opening to life's gifts and
serving needs greater than our own -
every day!
Each of our church ministries pursues our church mission of "Listen, Open, Serve" in a particular way. We've boiled each ministry's purpose down to a single, dynamic phrase. See the descriptions below and follow the links to learn more.
