We are a caring and inclusive faith community that welcomes, celebrates & supports all people in worship, fellowship and the ministries we offer.  We are called to be the change we want to see in the world by honoring human dignity and seeking to improve the rights and conditions of people locally, nationally and globally. We offer compelling worship that celebrates the Holy Eucharist, immerses us in the sacred mystery of God, and brings the healing touch of Jesus Christ to bear in our lives, and through us, into the world.

El Salvador

We have been in a mutual relationship with the village of El Ocotillo since 2001.

We would describe it as walking with the community. Our support has been providing scholarships for their children and young adults. 11 Scholarship recipients have graduated college and are now employed in professional jobs. Other projects have included helping to fund purchase of land with a water source, buying chicks and coop materials, and providing materials to repair desks at the elementary school. We send delegations to the community about every two years and communicate with our Salvadoran friends regularly.
