"We are a local congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America, passionately committed to biblical truth, amazingly Grace-centered in proclamation and purpose, intensely relational in the quest for authentic community, intentionally covenantal in ministry and outreach, and aggressively engaging culture in the marketplace of ideas. In my 17 years of pastoral ministry I have come to realize that the pilgrimage and journey of faith is a very diverse and complex experience. But regardless of the circumstances, we labor with a steadfast and joyful hope that Jesus, who is Lord of his Church, will build his Church, and nothing will impede its forceful advance."
