A Changing Church for Changing Times
We describe our congregation as a changing church for changing times. We celebrate our multicultural, multi-generational Church family.
Our church family includes people from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Jamaica, Trinidad, St. Vincent Island, Romania, Pakistan, and Hungary,
as well as some who grew up in the Crescentville neighborhood and others who are new to the area.
Please know you are welcome to be a part of the change! We invite you to join with us as we seek God’s leading us to be a welcoming place in our community.
We welcome you to
worship with us in our sanctuary.
Sunday's 10:30 AM
Our worship service is recorded and the video is available on Facebook, YouTube,
and our website by Sunday evening.
