Letter from Our Pastor

Hello,

It has been my challenge and pleasure to serve God within our congregation for the past 13 years. We are an inclusive and welcoming fellowship with a rich variety of serving, intellectual, musical, interpersonal and other spiritual gifts. Each member and participant has vocations within our shared ministry, and one of my main vocations has been to help other people discover the work God is calling them to. We endeavor to combine deep personal spirituality with intellectual inquiry and a passion for social justice. We have a unique legacy from the Stone-Campbell church unity movement which sprang up on the American frontier in the early 19th century, and many families with disparate religious backgrounds have been able to embrace a common home in our fellowship. We welcome everyone, recognizing that other congregations within the ecumenical whole also have unique qualities which are needed by the whole people of God.

We invite you browse through our website, to visit us in worship, and to communicate with us as we continue on our life's journey.

Christ's Peace,
John McKinstry
Pastor
