Our building is fully accessible to disabled people. There is an elevator near the main entrance off the parking lot.
We strive to make our Christian faith relevant in our daily lives.
We participate in several special offerings through the United Church of Christ. These include the Neighbors in Need fund, the Christmas Fund and One Great Hour of Sharing. Through the blue offering envelopes, we contribute to the Pastor's Discretionary Fund; this is spent, with the knowledge of only the Council president and the pastor, to help church members in time of need.
A set of bylaws outlines what constitutes membership, the function of the Council, the officers of the church, the boards, the Ministerial Relations Committee, the Stewardship Committee and the trustees.
God calls the church into mission in the world; therefore, the purpose of the church in this place is to:
- Proclaim the gospel in word and deed
- Conduct public worship and administer the sacraments
- Unite all people in Christ
- Equip its members to fulfill their ministry in the world
- Extend the work of Christ throughout the earth
