The purpose of this congregation is to give visible form to the faith and fellowship to which God has called us.  We acknowledge ourselves to be a local religious manifestation of the universal church through by which Jesus Christ continues to minister to the world by His Holy Spirit.  We shall seek to fulfill this calling through corporate worship service, through a program of Christian nurturing by which our members may be built up in their faith and love, through the proclamation of the Gospel by word and deed, and through ministering to human needs in the name of Jesus Christ.
