Our ministries take many forms — just as “worship” is best defined by those who are doing it.

Enacted Ministries
Branching Out to Serve What some people refer to as Mission Outreach, or Evangelism, we just think of as our Enacted Ministries. These are some of the places where we answer Jesus’ command to live out our faith and not hide it under a bushel. While many of our members participate in their own activities, as People of the Way, we collectively engage in the following.
