As Methodists, we are called to cultivate more disciples and deeper disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of our community and world. You are invited to join us on the journey.

This week

Join Us for Worship


Easter is a season of rejoicing! Join us for our Easter People sermon series, which will focus on the narratives of people who follow Jesus after Easter morning- Thomas, Peter, Mary, Matthias, and so many more. How can we be Easter People, too?

Realm Connect Is Here!


Create your account in Realm from the invitation that was mailed last Friday and then download the Realm Connect app. If you didn't get an invitation, contact the church office. Take a look around the app and explore all that is there! Some features are a work in progress so thank you for your patience as we work to get everything in place and functioning properly.


We will have staff and/or trained volunteers available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3pm through May 21 to assist with set up. Group leaders are encouraged to stop in or set up a time to meet with Cathy to learn how to use Realm effectively to communicate within your group.
