He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells in you has something He wants to do through you where you are. We believe this and live in His grace and love and power. In our family of faith you will find caring, loving people.
There's a place for you at United!
Presbyterians affirm that God comes to us with grace and love in the person of Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose for us so that we might have eternal and abundant life in him. As Christ's disciples, called to ministry in his name, we seek to continue his mission of teaching the truth, feeding the hungry, healing the broken, and welcoming strangers. God sends the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, giving us the energy, intelligence, imagination, and love to be Christ's faithful disciples in the world.
Presbyterian refers to the governmental structure of the church, led by Presbyers (from New Testament Greek meaning Elders). Elders provide the spiritual leadership of the church. We also have a board of Deacons to provide care for the members and community. Our board of Trustees care for the buildings and grounds, keeping them in excellent shape as our center of mission into the community.

Simple musical instruments are provided. Each song is featured where a short history of the song or song writer is read describing the circumstances of why and how the song was written.

Wired Word is an Adult Bible Study class that meets each Sunday at 9 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. in the Disciples Room. This adult class is unique. It is a discussion group, using innovative approach to Bible study called The Wired Word. Each Sunday morning the class reviews an important and interesting news headline from that week selected by a national Wired Word resource team. In the class we think through the "in the news" event in light of four or five relevant Bible passages. With each Bible passage, we discuss a question that makes us ask ourselves, "What is the Bible saying to me about how to live my life as a Christian?" We often focus on," What role does our Christian faith play in the face of challenges and problems that are not easily solved or that will not go away?" Through our reflection on several Bible passages, we explore ideas and talk about some things that could really make a difference in our everyday living.
We hope you feel welcome to join us for worship, learning, and service both inside our congregation and outside in our community. Use the form to contact us for more information, or if you have questions or comments.
