We are a Bread for the World Covenant Church
Covenant Churches make an annual commitment to:
observe Bread for the World Sunday annually and integrate hunger concerns in prayer, worship, and stewardship and...
participate in Bread for the World’s annual Offering of Letters and engage in advocacy on other legislation in Congress.
make an annual financial contribution to Bread for the World, support local anti-hunger.
We support More Light Presbyterians.
Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make the Church a true community of hospitality, the mission of More Light Presbyterians is to work for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and in society.
We Are a Matthew 25 Church
The circular shape represents unity and equality. Like God, a circle has no beginning and no end, and it symbolizes our continuing effort to help one another. The shape also suggests a globe that points to our engagement with the world.
The three interlocking figures represent the equality of all people without gender or race bias. They have their arms around each other, symbolizing friendship, protection and service. The number three suggests the three focus areas of congregational vitality, structural racism and systemic poverty, as well as the Trinity.
