We are a group of people who share faith in Christ and a love for God. We strive to care for others by following the example of Jesus. We are welcomed by God, just as we are, and we pray that we welcome others in the same way. Come visit us!

Congregational Meeting VoteResults of Vote from Sept 8 congregational meeting:
We had a vote to accept a letter of intent from a potential buyer to purchase the east half of the 10th Street Property. The vote passed 55 for and 0 against. This doesn’t mean the property is sold, it just allows the process of selling the property process to continue. There will be another vote to accept any actual offer if we receive one. Join Us in Celebrating the Life of Lita Barthelmes & a Blessing of Pets, 9/28We have all come to love Lita, the mother of Lori Barthelmes, over the past few years. Help us celebrate her life and honor her with a blessing of your pets. Details below. For photos of Lita, please go to our "Past Events" page.
Help Sponsor CASA T-shirt GiveawayAdvocating Unity in the Community and blessing children affected by abuse and neglect by supporting CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates)
Pastor Mark will have a table where he will be giving away “Unity in the Community” t-shirts. Pastor Mark already has over 25 shirts paid for by Thrivent and a couple of friends. The hope is to be able to give away 50. This will bless the community in 2 ways: -It will remind the people who have the shirts to seek church unity and notice, stop for and pray for the people they encounter each day. -Donations will be collected from those who are given the shirts and given to CASA to support children affected by abuse and neglect who sometimes feel alone and forgotten. Let Pastor Mark know if you would like to sponsor some t-shirts to give away. Sept 8: Welcome Pastor Mark Back and and Sunday School Social and Potluck Lunch Help us welcome back Pastor Mark on Sept 8. And we will be hosting a Sunday School Social.
Join us for a pot-luck lunch. The church will provide hotdogs; please bring a dish to share. We will also have some fun rounds of bingo for all ages
