Mark your calendars: Annual Meeting January 25, 2026.

Our mission today is the same as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow: To love God, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to feed the hungry and welcome the stranger, to uphold the dignity of every human being, and to be peacemakers in a time of strife. We are followers of Jesus the Christ.
