Who We Are
All people are valued and welcomed into God's family thorough faith in Jesus Christ. Service and worldwide mission grow out of active discipleship. Worship is both a celebration of God's activity in our lives and an occasion to reconnect with God. During the week, we continue our relationship with God through Bible Study, prayer, serving others, corporate worship and fellowship with other Christians.
What We believe
We Believe...
God exists and relates to us as our Loving, Holy, Righteous Father. Jesus Christ is Savior of the world, The Way, The Truth and the Life. The Holy Spirit assures and empowers us. Salvation is a personal, redemptive experience in Jesus Christ that is encouraged in the Christian community, the congregation. The Bible and the Holy Spirit are our guides for faith and life. Discipleship means to live a life learning from the Lord Jesus.
What's Different
We pray and work for grace and truth, for peace and simplicity. As the priesthood of all believers, we work together in love and unity to carry out the ministry.
our history
Get to know more about what makes us different.
We are affiliated with the Church of the Brethren, an Anabaptist-related denomination with the tag line "Jesus in the Neighborhood". We are a Bible-believing, community-oriented church dedicated to glorifying God on the West Shore.
We love music. We generally worship with older Contemporary Christian and traditional hymns, but on fifth Sundays, Christmas Eve and Easter we may worship through creative expressions like drama or videos.

Founded in 1992, we are still new, friendly, and open. Our church life is where we learn to love one another as Jesus loves us. We are caring and generous. We have given to support local missions such as Life Choices Clinic, Bethesda Mission, the Carlisle Truck Stop Ministry, Camp Eder, Community Aid and Gideons International. We also support a missionary, Jennifer Cook, to Latinos/Hispanics in Florida.
