...or how we organize ourselves.

We have begun to explore how we organize around our gratitude - all those things we are thankful for in our faith community.  Toward this end, we have named and oriented ourselves around four ministries, Inreach, Outreach, Spiritual Nourishment, and Institutional Support. Learn more HERE.
