The Edgebrook Community Church
is an open-hearted, open-minded Christian community seeking to know God's word, dedicated to living the faith and making it real in our lives and in our community.

As members of Edgebrook Community Church, we strive to gather together to worship God and grow in faith; to recognize the dignity of all people; to share our gifts by supporting each other physically, emotionally, and spiritually; and, through cooperative effort, to undertake projects that will renew spirits and spread our faith through our works, always remembering that we are a church family.
