We consider it a joyful opportunity to “proclaim the Good News” to friends, neighbors and strangers alike. We believe that as we grow in our understanding of the faith we are better able to live our own faith lives and share that faith with others. To grow in faith and understanding, we offer a variety of Christian Education opportunities and you are encouraged to “join in” at any time. Interested in learning more?
