Our Mission: To be a genuine community that makes, matures, and multiples followers of Jesus.
What We Are About:
You could sum up our faith community in three words: Jesus. Community. Mission.
We believe in each of these words so much we have intentionally structured our church around them. We Gather to center our lives towards the ways of Jesus through song, hearing the words of Jesus, and genuinely examining how our lives and faith intersect. We do this on the first and third Sunday of each month.
We also know that we can be friends and community together as well. This is so essential that we have given two Sundays a month to circling up to look at scripture together to ask questions and share each others thoughts. Don’t worry, any questions is welcomed and we want to hear your voice. We feel that listening well to each other enhances friendships. We do this on the second and fourth Sunday of each month.
Finally, we believe that each of us can have, and may have, a deep desire to make the world better. That, because of our relationship with Jesus and with others we may be prompted to help someone in our neighborhood, work-space, or school. We take seriously weaving the importance of making a difference in all we do. We do this through a process of helping people find a "calling" to impact the world around them.

Tracy SpiegelAssociate PastorBeing a pastor was the last thing Tracy ever imagined herself doing. An adult convert to Christianity, she has worshipped with Quakers in England, Lutherans in Germany, and Congregationalists in Massachusetts, learning much along the way about God and his people. Since graduating from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 2018, she’s been thinking a lot about God-centred worship, the ethical responsibilities of discipleship, and the role of women as God’s image bearers in both the church and society.
Tracy and her husband, Tim, have three grown children, a son-in-law and now a gorgeous new granddaughter, all stretched out along the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Virginia. |
