Sharing God's Gifts and Love
"We reach out with joy and acceptance in worship and ministry, inviting all to experience and share God's gifts and abundant love as we grow in Christ."
For many of us, the Mission Statement above is more than just words, it is the way we live our collective life here at Saint David's. Whether it is the Christmas pageant or the Men's Feeding Shelter, the October EYC (youth) weekend or a post-Thanksgiving dinner board-game fellowship, the Spirit is alive and well at Saint David's. We hope that if you come to worship with us, you can sense the Spirit of God here, too.
Our Past, Our Present, and Our Future
The History of Saint David's can provide you a glimpse into our origins. The new parish hall is now complete and we have begun to "Live the Vision." These are indeed exciting times at Saint David's. Come be a part of our future!
Vision Statement
We participate, adapt, and grow in our worship and Christian learning. We are fully engaged in loving each other and our community, drawing one another closer to Christ and His teachings. We support our members and others with compassion, in accordance with God's will. We give fully and sacrificially from all that God has placed into our hands, to continue the work of His Kingdom.

“Come to him, to that living stone,
rejected by men but in God’s sight chosen and precious; and like living stones
be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”
1 Peter 2:4-5.
