Mission Statement:
God
calls us to work
together in Christian fellowship
with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ: worshiping, growing in faith, reaching out to others in the church, community and world, and nuturing our hopes for the future. |
The
United Church
Women have four units which meet regularly to provide a medium through
which
they may express their loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ in
Christian
witness, study, fellowship and service. These groups welcome any ladies
in the
church for an afternoon or evening of fellowship.
The Christian
Education and Development Committee plan programs for the congregation
which
invites persons of all ages to explore and grow in their relationship
with
God.
Weekly
Sunday school programs are
offered for the children and youth who participate first in the worship
service
by reading scripture and occasionally presenting short dramas or
musical
selections. Nursery care is available for young children.
The
Library is a resource available
to all in the congregation and we encourage its use for group or
individual
devotional material. Mid‑week Groups for Children & Youth are
offered depending
on leadership availability and demand. These are open to all youth of
the
community.
Adult
Bible Study is held weekly
during the fall and winter.
Evening
Faith and Study Programs are
also held periodically. The area of
study is varied depending on leadership and interest.
Along with these programs we sponsor
other fun and entertaining events such as seniors’ dinners, after
service
socials, and various types of fundraisers.
The congregation
participates in a number of ongoing outreach projects such as the
Christmas
Giving Tree, support of
Sunday services are taped weekly and
made available to those unable to attend.

inaugural service was held on

traditions of the four previous congregations and have integrated
numerous artefacts
and furnishings from all the churches; for example, the Presbyterian
