Welcome to Saint Francis!
Grace and Peace in the name of Jesus Christ! Saint Francis is a dynamic and grounded community serving Christ and the surrounding area through acts of worship, compassion, and teaching. We encourage a sense of belonging and mutual service within our fellowship. Family, youth and children's ministries; short and long-term educational opportunities; and meaningful worship are all part of our life together.
Wherever you are in your life, or whatever interests you may have, we have a place for you at Saint Francis.

As we celebrate the season of Advent at St. Francis, we anticipate the birth of Christ and prepare to rejoice in the fulfillment of the Promise.
We hope you will plan to join us for worship, study and fellowship as together we renew our faith and anticipate the hope that the holy baby brings to the world.
And don’t forget – Advent is a great opportunity to invite friends to join us at St. Francis.
