UPCOMING EVENTS
THE CONCLUSION OF THE LECTURE SERIES ON
LIBERATION THEOLOGY
Beginning in South and Central America after the Second Vatican Council,
Liberation became a major movement within theology,
contributing to efforts of national and class revolution in several parts of the world.
Despite enduring systematic attempts to silence them, liberation theologians have persisted, and their approach has been embraced on an interfaith basis.
Led by Dr. Bruce Chilton of Bard College,
this series will engage both the thought and the practice of Liberation Theology.

OUR VISION
The mortar that holds our church together is made from LOVE, FAITH, AND HOPE. Love for God and for each other. Faith in His Word. Hope that through our missions and caring for each other, we will make a difference.
Within our religious structure are three main pillars - WORSHIP, LEARNING, AND SERVICE. These strong foundations have helped us stay true to traditional values as well as move forward and evolve along side our community.
WORSHIP
The center of our heart is our sanctuary and historic organ along with our pastor, congregation,
music, and endless love.

LEARNING
