A Timeless Way to be Church

We are a small but growing congregation where relationships run deep,  the challenging questions of faith are taken seriously, and simplicity is a source of joy. We invite people into the timeless patterns of Christian community — simple and ancient spiritual practices, deeply connected community, selfless giving, courageous advocacy for the most vulnerable, and fresh proclamation of the Good News for the world.  

Small Community, Big Impact

We don’t have a sprawling campus or a coffee shop in our lobby, but what we do have is a genuine sense of belonging. Here, you'll be known by name, your questions and gifts matter, and you'll be invited to belong regardless of where you are in your faith journey. Learn more about our mission and ministries.

Faith That Challenges and Inspires

At Messiah, you won’t find easy, pre-packaged answers. We value thoughtful faith over shallow certainty; we believe the Christian life invites wrestling, wonder, and transformation. Belief is not about "thinking the correct thing about God." It is about trust. To trust in Jesus is to  rest in his promises and strive to follow the example of how he lived, prayed, ministered, and loved. Learn more about what we believe. 

Worship Rooted in Ancient Simplicity

You won't find a concert with lights and fog machines at Messiah, but what you will find is that our worship reflects the timeless rhythms of Christian tradition. Our historic and liturgical worship connects us to a deep heritage of faith while keeping us present to God's voice in Word and Sacrament. We believe worship is more than just entertainment or emotionalism; it is about an ecnounter with God that transcends trends, emotion, or even words. Learn more about how we gather in worship.

Inclusive and Justice-Oriented

You will not be turned away because of who you love, what you look like, what language you speak, how much money you have, where you are from, or for however else God has wonderfully made you. Messiah is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. We openly affirm LGBTQ+ individuals, are committed to the work of anti-racism, and make space for people the Christian Church has historically harmed and excluded. We are trying to respond to God's call to work for justice, practice mercy, and welcome the stranger. Learn more about our commitment to justice and welcome.
