To serve the world outside our walls and advance the reign of God we equip our people for ministry through worship and service, prayer and pastoral care, education and Christian formation. Opportunities for ministry abound!

Altar Guild A corps group of woman and men who care for the altar, vessels, linens, candles, hangings, vestments and other items necessary for worship.

Bible Study This occurs twice a week; on Sundays it is lead by two physicians,  both of whom have graduate theological educations and have made this an important and welcome ministry. On Tuesdays there is a group that meets at 1:30 pm to discuss the Revised Common Lectionary readings for the coming week. Some come early and bring a lunch.
