Who We Are:
Inspired by the bold and boundless hospitality of Jesus, we are “open to all,” which means we welcome and accept all people into the life of our Church without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, age, economic status, political affiliation, physical or mental capacity, or religious belief. We believe that God’s call is given to all people, and we embrace the Spirit that continues to cross boundaries in order to unite the world.
Our Youth Choir:
They are 12-18 years of age and are committed to practice weekly. Leading in worship multiple times a year, this choir ranges from burgeoning soloists, dedicated percussionists, creative lyricists, and much more. An annual highlight is the youth-led Youth Sunday service where graduating seniors are honored and the youth choir leads worship. Previous activities include a trip to see Jesus Christ Superstar, a tour of the sanctuary organ and a/v, and performing for Lessons & Carols in December. The youth choir enjoys a wide variety of music including classical, showtunes, folk hymns, spirituals, pop, gospel, and traditional music from around the globe.
