We want to be about open doors!

Good news is news that ought to be shared. To be an outreaching church we will show hospitality and welcome to the stranger who comes to worship. We additionally will foster an environment that demonstrates kindness, models inclusiveness, practices fairness, and shows love for the outcast. While caring for matters inside the church, we also deem it necessary to move beyond our walls and doors to proclaim Christ’s gospel. We commit ourselves to extending invitation into a relationship with Jesus, to show Christ’s mercy without expectation of return, and to model Christ’s forgiveness.
