Our Community

Welcome to Our Community!

We have many vibrant committees whose work contributes to the outsatanding success of this church. Please visit their individual pages, listed in the menu to the left. Perhaps you are considering volunteering on a committee? If so, please contact the chairperson or the church office with your interest.

Attending a public event is a great way to see the culmination of a committee project.  Some of the outstanding events the church has held in the past include: festivals, bazaars, earth-awareness events, winter Farmer's Markets, lectures, films, church suppers, coffeehouses, religion mini-courses,historical tours, Lincoln concerts, Holiday Open House concerts & Live Nativity,  Tents of Hope (Dafur), Three Cups of Tea (Cambodia), and Ukama Supper (Africa),  We have a lot of fun and educational events -who knows what we will come up with next!
