Gather - Grow - Celebrate

Honoring Our Past, Growing into God’s Future

For more than 90 years, our congregation has gathered in Christ’s name. Generation after generation has offered their gifts so that God’s love might be shared in worship, in learning, in service, and in fellowship.

Thirty years ago, a new building gave us fresh space for ministry. Yet the true foundation of our life together has always been the generosity of God’s people—hearts lifted in prayer, voices raised in song, and gifts given in faith. Through the years, this generosity has blossomed into inspiring worship, Neighborhood Meals, acts of pastoral care, ministry partnerships, gardens, faith formation, and countless ministries that have touched lives both near and far.

Today we stand on that foundation of faithful giving. Every ministry that shapes lives today is rooted in someone’s “yes” yesterday. And tomorrow’s ministry depends on the faithful generosity we live out today.

That is why our fall generosity campaign is shaped by three movements: GATHER, GROW, CELEBRATE.

We GATHER in gratitude for those who came before us. We GROW in faith as we prayerfully commit to the ministry we share.

We CELEBRATE the ways God continues to bear fruit among us and through us.

At the end of October, you will receive a personalized invitation to take part in this campaign by making your generosity commitment for 2026. Please take time to read, pray, and talk with your household about how you will share in this ministry. Your commitment will ensure the vitality, fruitfulness, and faithfulness of our congregation as we continue to grow the fruits of God’s kingdom.

Together we GATHER. Together we GROW. Together we CELEBRATE. All to the glory of God.

“Let his house proclaim from floor to rafter, All are welcome in this place!”*—and by God’s grace, our generosity helps make it so.
