As American Baptists, we believe in soul freedom and encourage each to discover his or her faith in God according to the convictions of the individual heart, mind and spirit. We are committed to working for justice, peace and the integrity of all creation in our personal and corporate relationships. We believe in working cooperatively with other Christian churches and with other religious traditions with integrity and respect for the values each individual and congregation brings to working for the healing of the nations, God’s people and God’s creation.

Connect with Each Other -- We will be a loving and caring people, strengthened and prepared for ministry in our homes, work, church, and community.

About Us:

We are an open community of Christians who gather to seek, celebrate, live and share the love of God with all creation. With Jesus as the center of our life together, we are a theologically diverse congregation who welcomes every child of God into our community.  The Bible is the foundational written document in our life and faith.  We take the Bible very seriously but not literally, understanding that the Bible is the sufficient ground of our faith and practice while living under the movement of the Spirit. We understand our lives and faith as a journey and are committed to helping people along the way as we seek God together.   As American Baptists, we believe in soul freedom and encourage each  other to discover his or her faith in God according to the convictions of the individual heart, mind and spirit.  We are committed to working for justice, peace and the integrity of all creation in our personal and corporate relationships.  We believe in working cooperatively with other Christian churches and with other religious traditions with integrity and respect for the values each individual and congregation brings to working for the healing of the nations, God’s people and God’s creation.
