If you haven't guessed it already, we are a Presbyterian church. "Presbyterian" refers to the way we structure our church. We are elder-governed and value the participation of everyone as we rely on Jesus as the Head of the Church. Our particular stream of presbyterianism is a denomination called "ECO." You can find more info here: https://eco-pres.org/our-story/. Basically, we love Jesus and believe that the Bible is the Word of God.

MISSION, VISION, VALUES
OUR MISSION: BUILD A FLOURISHING CHURCH THAT MAKES DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST
● Magnify the person of Jesus Christ to all people by showing others less of us and more of Christ
● Nurture members with fellowship and congregational care by serving short-term and ongoing needs of the congregation
● Teach God’s people to become mature disciples of Jesus Christ by pursuing Biblical preaching, teaching, and spiritual growth
● Equip disciples for ministry in the church by empowering members for service in God's Kingdom

● Manage with love and prayer all that God entrusts to us by using our time, talent and treasure wisely and justly.
In order for us to accomplish our mission we also partner with the following missionaries and organizations who share our values:
