We Believe

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.

Worship with us!

The truth is that church isn’t a building – it’s a group of people that gather to celebrate what Jesus has accomplished on the cross, and scatter to tell even more people that there is hope in this life because Jesus is alive. Come check us out. We hope to see you soon!
