Teachings
One of the primary elements of our worship gatherings is exploring the scriptures. Together as a community of faith we seek to faithfully interpret and apply these ancient texts to the realities of twenty-first century life. We do this because we believe God is present with us, that God's Story is continually unfolding all around us and that he is still renewing all of creation and inviting us to participate.
