WORSHIP SERVICE

“What They Taught Us?”

Rev. Vanessa Rush Southern, Senior Minister, preaching

What does it mean to be a man? What did we learn, from whom, and how? What do we want to pass on?

ANNUAL CANVASS 2024-25

HOORAY! We have now officially hit our Annual Pledge Canvass original goal of $750,000. 

Thanks to Reverend Vanessa, Reverend Laura, our great staff, The Music Man Mark Sumner and the choir, the hard-working Stewardship Committee, and all our members, friends, and regular visitors who joined hands and wallets to make this happen. We should all be proud of ourselves, knowing we have an exciting year of community sharing and caring ahead.

It has been a true pleasure to serve as the Annual Canvass Co-chairs this year.

Sherry & Jack Delo, Co-Chairs

CONGREGATIONAL COVENANT

Under Construction

In an effort to make the world a better place, we support each other’s journey to seek truth with openness, curiosity and respect for different perspectives and paths.


As love is our spirit, we commit to respect, accept, listen to and support each other.


We hold ourselves and each other accountable by continually assessing our individual and community actions toward living into our covenant. This will include speaking up when someone’s actions are not aligned.


We commit to be in community with openness and loving kindness, acknowledging our own biases and differing perspectives.


We welcome the newcomer, we commit to building trust with each other, we celebrate differences and make space for repair when harm occurs.
