WHO WE ARE
A CITY SET ON A HILL…
You are the light of the world. These words of Jesus from Matthew 5:14 have an eternal impact. As a parish family, we believe that we are called to be the light of the world. We believe that we are called to be the hands and feet of Christ to our neighbors and our community. We are the light of the world, and we show that through worship, fellowship, education, caring for our earth, and serving our community.
