This Sunday’s gospel includes Jesus’ promise that he goes to prepare a place for his followers in his Father’s house. Our baptism commissions us to share Jesus’ mission in the world. We're reminded that we are a holy people, called to proclaim the one who called us out of darkness into light. In words and deeds we bear witness to the risen Christ—our way, our truth, our life.

Come join us this Sunday! Services at 8am and 9:30am.

We call today Good Friday, and although the day Christ died was not good in the least, the Resurrection turned that dark and horrible day into a “good” day. As part of God’s drama of salvation through Jesus Christ, God can always turn our sunsets into sunrises. May it be so! Come join us tonight in remembrance at 7:00pm.

Life and death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on tri...

We welcome you to worship tomorrow! It was the children on Palm Sunday who cheered the loudest; they loved him simply because they knew how much he loved them. If by chance your faith has lost its childlike simplicity, we hope that this hour of worship will restore it to you. And we offer our friendship to help in the restoration.

Today, we encounter the paradox that defines our faith: Jesus Christ is glorified king and humiliated servant. We too are full of paradox: like Peter, we fer...
