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. | | |

Join us for worship for the September Series: Elijah: The Troubler of Israel. Elijah was a prophet, calling the people to repentance when they strayed from God. Through this sermon series, we will journey with Elijah through many trials and miracles. God cares for Elijah at every turn, and we, too, may experience God in new and future-giving ways. We, too, may learn anew about the inescapable wonder of God's grace that finds us, feeds us, and uses us for God's glory. | | |
