Nursery: One of our distinctives as Presbyterians and as Christians is our belief in the covenant of grace in Jesus Christ.

One of our distinctives as Presbyterians and as Christians is our belief in the covenant of grace in Jesus Christ. An essential application of that gospel truth is our responsibility to one another in our covenant community. Taking a turn in caring for our nursery children is a beautiful and needful outworking of that application. Thank you for taking seriously the responsibility to love and nurture the littlest of Christ's lambs!

New Sunday School classes begin Sunday

New Sunday School classes begin Sunday! Instead of just offering an elective system during the summer, our adult Sunday School classes will be elective all year round. In other words, there will no longer be age-related classes in the fall and spring, but all classes will be inter-generational year round—adults of all ages learning alongside of one another. We will offer four adult classes each semester, giving you the full freedom to choose the one that fits you the best.
