What We Believe
We are part of The United Methodist Church, a global family of faith shaped by the ministry of John and Charles Wesley. Our shared welcome says it simply: open hearts, open minds, open doors.
At the heart of our faith is grace – God’s love, freely given, that welcomes, forgives, and transforms. Following Jesus is a journey we take together, grounded in Scripture, shaped by worship, and lived out in service to our neighbors.
Everyone is welcome at the Lord’s Table. Communion here is an open table: you do not need to be a member, or to have it all figured out, to be fed and included.
