We seek ways that will help us individually and communally love God with our mind, concern, and being.  We seek to be as caring for others as we are for ourselves.  We search for ways and opportunities to make people feel comfortable in fellowship and to leave from us more inspired and encouraged than when they came.

We desire and attempt…  

• To be credible so nothing disturbs our peace of mind;
• To speak of health, happiness, and prosperity in the presence of all we meet;
• To make all our friends feel important;  
• To endeavor making all enemies our friends;
• To gaze at the bright side of everything and make optimism our motto;
• To anticipate the best, labor for the best, and imagine the best;
• To be as wholehearted about the success of others as we are about our own;
• To treat the blunders of the past as springboards of experience for future success;
• To have a positive countenance at all times and welcome everyone with a smile;
• To give all our time improving ourselves, having no time to pass judgment on others;
• To be too selfless for worry, too courteous for anger, too dedicated to fear, and
• To be too happy to permit the presence of suffering in the world we live.

Our Vision
We have been passing the Chalice for 100 years in worship service to remember God’s love for us and all who believe.  We continue to remember the past as we plan for the future.  We seek to find creative ways to make God meaningful for both youth and adults. We want others to share ideas and creative opportunities with us to make godliness an exciting endeavor for daily living.  Our ultimate vision is to make God a vital part of individual lives so that families and the community at large will become an influencing entity in establishing “His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven”. Therefore, we are a church that extends to all people, an opportunity for peaceful coexistence regardless of race, creed, color, preferential orientation, or any other perceived or recognized difference that may encourage discrimination.      

Our Mission 
We want to provide a place where people can discern who God is, what God does, how God acts. But, equally important, is how a person individually and a people collectively, take steps to faithfully fulfill the most often recited words in the church, “Thy Kingdom come; Thy Will be done; on earth as It is in Heaven”.   

 We continue to struggle with “who we are” in reality compared to what we “want to be” as God’s people.  We seek God’s best intentions for us and others. We seek to give more and keep less.  We struggle to find our place in a world of “snatch and grab”.  We desire to be better than we are.  We wrestle with God’s Word.  We attempt God’s Way.  We rejoice in God’s Hope for us. But in reality, “We don’t always do it right, but we know ‘The One’ who does.”  Therefore, if you sense a similar tension between what is and what should be, than join us in the journey to find a place set apart for God’s Blessing.
