We strive to offer safe and comfortable Christian experiences for everyone at all stages of development to experience God by connecting real faith to real life through the messages of the Bible. We work to provide resources and support that help all members of our congregation to grow in their faith. Guiding us in our mission are our core values

• Embracing diversities of faith and life;
• Worshiping  and learning together;
• Growing  in our relationship with God;
• Growing  in our relationship with each other;
• Making a connection between church and home;
• And relying upon our faith in dealing with the challenges of everyday life.

The Ministry of Education consists of six members plus a Chair and Vice-chair, including UCC, ABC, and whenever possible, Federated members. It has general oversight of the entire field of Christian education and shall advise and coordinate the various groups under it. Responsibilities of the ministry include adult Christian education, Christian education for children and youth, confirmation classes, and youth ministry.
