"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs, hurts, joys, and interests."

We are grateful for the beautiful flower arrangements at the altar each Sunday. These arrangements are coordinated by the Parish Flower Guild and funded by donations in memorial, honor, or thanksgiving for a life event or friends and relatives of Resurrection. The cost for both flower arrangements is $75. Sunday flowers may be shared. Your gift of flowers will be acknowledged in the Sunday service bulletin.
