Hosts local groups and agencies (Great After School Place, Head Start, Scouting, etc). The congregation is investing in a new addition for mission outreach and to house these various activities. Projected finished in Dec 2010.

A praise band, several bell choirs, adult choir highlight the music talents of the congregation. Summertime especially is the time for solos, bands, etc to show off their talents during worship.
Mission emphasis on local (Harvest TAble), Conference (disaster response, Native American Ministries), National ( National Disaster Response thru UMCOR), and international ( 2 covenant relationships with missionaries in Bolivia and Cambodia), take the major church mission offerings, take many mission trips for both youth and adults.
