Documents
Most of our important congregational documents are stored in the online church “file cabinet.” If you are looking for a document, it probably lives there. You can browse through it by following this link.

Leaders
It takes a lot of people to operate and govern a congregation our size. The vision, mission, congregational covenant and strategic planning are their responsibility with congregational support. To learn more about our governance have a look at the documents in the file cabinet.

Archives
Sometimes members and friends want to get a copy of a sermon or listen to a service again. To listen to a recent service, you will need login information to protect the Joys and Sorrows shared in the service. That login information can be gotten from the office. Please follow the links to the right to access these materials. Another resource of learning and education is our Joy Library. That can also be found on the Archives links.
