No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here!
For over three centuries, we have gathered together in our historic church to encounter our living God anew each week. The heart of our life together is our dynamic and relevant worship for all ages. Here we experience God’s grace and love, discover new meaning in ancient scripture, hold each other in prayer, and strive to bring our faith to bear on the way we live each day.
We hope you will come and join us this Sunday!
