About Us
Relational
Through out weekly meals, we get to know each other deeply. Visitors aren't just a face in the crowd.
Liturgical
The liturgy, or structure, of the service may feel familiar to folks with a certain kind of church background. It's not complicated, and anyone can participate (or not) just by following along in the worship booklet or Book of Common Prayer.
Traditional
Sermons and teaching focus on Jesus, the Bible, and orthodox Christian doctrine.
Prayerful
As we seek to follow our Shepherd, our first and best work is always done through prayer.
