Ndunge Sefu - Co-Pastor
“I cannot compare the sweetness of serving Jesus Christ with anything this world can offer. That is why I invite you to come and journey with us as we seek to grow together in Christ, and this, with our Bibles opened. I believe that one cannot grow spiritually with a closed Bible.” Joshua 1:8

Jonathan Landis - Co-Pastor
“Pastoring to me is not about telling others the right answer but about helping people hold their difficult situations and about providing space for their genuine emotions and questions as we walk through life together. And I love making and re-making meaning of our old stories together: whether we’re looking at a Biblical text, our Christian and Mennonite history, or reviewing the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.”

Jana Miller - Music Director
“I believe that music and lyrics can speak to the soul as much as a sermon and scripture. Our hymnal has so many great songs, and I am passionate about using music and hymns to enhance the worship experience.”
