Christ Church is a place where people come to know the Lord and through which God is changing lives. People are getting connected with others, being the hands and feet of Christ, and growing deeper in their walk with Jesus. Above all, God is being glorified. Instead of just being another club or group in town to be a part of… our hope is to help people truly encounter God and grow in their ability to love God, love and serve others, and live as disciples of Jesus. We’ll be the first ones to admit that we’re not perfect though, but if that’s something you can relate with you’ll fit right in.

Each person is loved by God more than they can imagine. You matter to God, You matter to us-so come as you are. If you are not active in a church, our faith family is here for you and invites you to join us in discovering Meaning, Purpose and Hope.

We believe that God works in our world and in our lives in these ways:

God our creator values all human beings. We are called into partnership with God. God has given us the responsibility for our lives and the life of the world.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the source of salvation. Through faith in Jesus we are forgiven, our sins made right with God, and given a new life in which faith is lived out in the world. All possible by Christ's death for our sins and resurrection to conquer sin.

The Holy Spirit, God with us, guides us in out Christian life, grows us closer to the image of Christ as we open ourselves to Him, and empowers our daily living.

We believe that the Christian life involves representing God in the world through Christian mission, social witness, and faith sharing. We grow in our faith through participation in the Christian community. We are obligated to reflect thoughtfully on the Scriptures, which are illumined by tradition, brought to life in personal experience, and confirmed by reason.

We believe the Church belongs to God and that the Church in the world is as Scripture puts it "the body of Christ." The Church is to be the physical presence of Christ in the world. As such, our primary aim is to do God's will.

It is our desire to honor God through our work on His behalf. To the end, we will do His work with these qualities: integrity, grace, excellence, relevance, authentically, passion, humility, faith, inclusivity, commitment, joy, and love.

I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As I write this message I am in awe of the ways God's Spirit is moving in the lives of the people at Christ Church. As we seek to be disciples of Christ growing in and living out our faith and carrying out the Church's mission to love God, love and serve others, and make disciples of Jesus Christ, God is blessing the ministries and people of this place in powerful ways.

We gather together to worship that we may praise God, be moved by God's Word, and encounter God's presence. We gather to remember our identity and mission, to nurture one another in discipleship, and to be empowered by the Holy Spirit. We gather to challenge each other to grow and to live faithfully at all times and places. We gather to offer God our lives and resources as we serve together to reach out in God's love to our world and make a difference in people's lives by sharing the good news of Jesus in word and deed. We gather to be God's witnesses and to invite others to join us as God's people and welcome them when they do.

By God's grace and the faithfulness of God's people in this local congregation many lives in our church and in our community are being transformed to experience true life now and the hope of eternal life to come. We are a family friendly church that connects with all generations and we invite you to join us in finding meaning, purpose, and hope as we walk the path of Jesus together, weaving faith into our lives and working to meet needs of people in our community. Check out our website and if you like what you see we would love to have you join us on the journey.

God Bless,

Pastor George J. Kafer
