what does this mean?
As a Presbyterian church, we are led by elders—dedicated individuals elected to guide our congregation in fulfilling our mission of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and making disciples. While we recognize the diversity of beliefs across the Global Church, we stand united incore truths: salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone;the authority of Scripture; and living for the glory of God alone.A key distinction between Presbyterians and many other denominations lies in our practice of baptism. We baptize infants as well as those who come to faith in Christ. If you have questions about our views on baptism, please feel free to speak with one of our pastors or elders.We warmly welcome all visitors, regardless of background or beliefs, remembering that Jesus is the friend of sinners.

our mission
To make disciples through worship, fellowship, and service.
Rooted in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission, our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ through worship, fellowship, and service. We are called to proclaim the gospel, engage in Christ-exalting worship, cultivate deep, Spirit-formed community, and serve our neighbors with love and truth.
our values
Worship
We believe that worship in all aspects is a means of grace and should be centered on giving all glory, honor, and praise to the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - through word and deed.
Word
We believe in the authority and inerrancy of scripture and follow God’s teachings as the only infallible rule of faith and practice.
Compassion
We are a people characterized by sacrificial steadfast love. We seek to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before our Savior Jesus Christ.
Community
We are a covenantal and confessional community of humble saints who pursue life together in unity as members of the body of Christ.
