Walking Through History Into The Future With Christ

We welcome all into a Christ-centered community that nurtures and values each member. We practice our faith through biblically-based liturgy, preaching and music. We teach young and old about God through our Anglican tradition. We reach out through our talents and resources to our visitors, our community and our world.
