This class is designed to introduce you to our church in a broad and general fashion. It will also answer some common questions about what it means to be a believer in Jesus, to be a part of a Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America) in the Reformed Tradition, and to be a member of this church in particular. You will learn about our central beliefs, our philosophy of ministry, and our organization. We will also explore how you can best take advantage of, and become involved in, the multitude of opportunities that come with being a part of our community.
If you are here because you are interested in membership, make sure to fill out this Connect Form so that you can be connected with someone in leadership as you work through the material.
Most likely, the Connect Class videos will not answer every one of your questions. Feel free to ask questions or direct remaining questions to any of the ministry staff or leadership. God has brought you here for a purpose; we want to help you discover and fulfill that purpose.
Physical copies of the Connect Guide can be purchased on Sundays for $10.
