Our Beliefs & Values
We are a congregation of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC), and as such, we affirm the essentials of our faith.
“Friends, Jesus’ life and especially his death, epitomizes His love for us. It’s in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection that we come to understand the full impact of God’s love for us. So if we claim to follow Jesus, we [should strive] to live in love.”
