        Who We Are


        We are a loving, theologically diverse faith community in the American Baptist tradition helping each other follow Jesus through the core values of welcome, worship, work, and wonder. Physically located in a university town, we think of ourselves as a “sending church,” welcoming people who are here for school or teaching for a time who then go on to serve in other places. Now, we’ve expanded our thinking to welcome our online congregation as well, learning to help those people participate and serve from where they are. We’re committed to a model of creation care based on Psalm 8 and our role as stewards of creation. We also value our intergenerational nature: Children and youth are encouraged to participate in worship services and also help lead them, and we have Sunday school for children and youth as well as adults. Senior adults serve in active, integral roles, helping to lead worship, participating in music groups and discussion groups and more. We welcome you to worship, study, and serve with us, wherever you are!

        our Identity
        our History

        Welcome. Worship. Work. Wonder.


        As we practice our faith together and seek God’s leading for our congregation, we find ourselves relying on the framework of four core tasks to help focus us. Click on the images below to learn more!
