We value community, family, work, and spiritual nourishment as ways that draw us closer to God. We also struggle with such things as crime, racism, family stress, underemployment, and materialism, all of which make it more difficult to live peaceful lives. If you share our values or our struggles, then join us at one of our weekend services. If you prefer, give us a call. We will be glad to hear from you!
Teegan Risbon Lannon, daughter of Timothy Lannon and Kori Rij Harry Joseph Osterman, son of Harry Osterman and Peggy Joyce Oscar William Wright, son of James Wright and Bethany Hornblad
