Welcome!

Pastor
Bill Albright and his
message

We invite you to join with us in:

The joyous worship of God
Following the teaching of Jesus Christ, and
Experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit

As you enter, you will be welcomed into our architecturally unique worship space with its historic Skinner pipe organ. But as rich a part of our heritage as these things are, the best part of your experience will be the people you will encounter while worshiping here.

We are an Open and Affirming congregation.
