Christmas Eve Candlelight and Holy Communion Dec. 24 at 7 pm

Please join us for Christmas Eve Candle Light Holy Communion and singing with the choir at 7 pm. All are welcome!

We are a downtown congregation

that strives to be the hands feet heart and mind of Jesus  

offering radical hospitality to the Valley.

If you work in the city and county offices

own a business wait on tables in a local restaurant or find yourself unemployed

we welcome you.

We welcome the comfortable and well-fed

the unsheltered and the hungry

those battling addiction and those who are recovering.

Whether you are straight, gay, transitioning or questioning

we offer a safe place for you to discover the love of Jesus and a community.

If you know what you believe or are an agnostic doubter, 

recovering from a previous church experience

or a long time Methodist,

we understand it is more important to experience grace and community

than it is to claim a dogma.

We welcome the Valley,

the well to do and the struggling family,

the retired gray-haired older adult and the squirming baby,

the dad who tells silly jokes and the high-tech mom,

white and black people and all the wonderful skin hues that are in between.

Whatever your heritage born here or elsewhere,

we believe that diversity is a strength

and reflects the creativity of God.

We welcome you.

Together we strive to live out the teachings of Jesus.

We believe that first and foremost our religion should make us kinder,

more compassionate 

and create in us a greater capacity to love.

We invite you to become companions with us.

We strive to be the hands, feet, heart and mind of Jesus in the Valley.
