Church Leadership
The Congregational Church is built upon the theology of the Priesthood of All Believers, that every member and friend of the church has gifts that can be offered to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
The United Church of Christ practices equipping the People of God to serve with open hearts and hands. In addition to hands-on Mission, there are also opportunities to serve on Ministries at our church.
