Worship 

An opportunity for us to gather as a transformed, inspired and called people of God. Rooted in gratitude and grounded in hope, our worship brings together voices and gifts from across our community. 
 
As a people inspired by God’s vision, we come together to be renewed for the journey. Come join in worship that forms us, grounds us and calls us forward as God’s people, united in mission and alive with the Spirit’s power.

Business Session

Our annual business session is a vital gathering in the life of our church—a time when we come together as a community of faith to discern, discuss and make decisions that shape our shared ministry. Guided by our Moderator and the Executive Council, this meeting provides space for transparency, accountability and collective leadership as we steward the mission God has entrusted to us.

Delegates from congregations across our region play a crucial role in this work. Through prayerful conversation, reports, presentations and voting on key matters, delegates help chart the direction of our life together—ensuring that the voice of the wider church is heard and honored.

Heading

So then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built into it for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 2:19-22
