Engaging All People in the Life of the Church at United in Faith

As a community:

We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation that welcomes and values each person regardless of background or situation and shares God’s gifts with all; invites all to experience the word of God, communion and the promise of the risen Christ; and, encourages all to participate fully in our ministries.

We accept all people regardless of the choices they make.

We celebrate all people.

We invite people from outside of our congregation into an experience of the love of God.

We experience children and youth inviting others to worship and youth events on a regular basis.

We share in the faith development of children through a Sunday School model that encourages all worshipers to be teachers, small group and intergenerational ministry, and a spirit that welcomes the gifts of every child.

We are committed to faith-growth experiences for children and youth such as mission trips, youth gatherings and summer Bible camp.

We regularly welcome seniors for a nutritious meal and companionship.
