Tippe is Green!
Tippe is a partner in the Interfaith Earth Network.
We really appreciate your being here. Our hope is you will get a sense of who we are and God's presence with us. We understand the importance of life stories, hopes, dreams, spiritual journeys. We would feel honored to share our story with you and to hear your story. Take a look around our site. We have lots to offer each other. Please give us a call or come Sunday morning at 9:30 AM to join us in worshiping.
On a spiritual quest? Looking to develop a personal relationship with God while held within a community that challenges as well as nurtures you? Open to thediverse gifts and insights of others? Desiring to find your unique"way" to faith within a sense of "oneness" known in a depth community? Then....
Come, try a church that sees life as an expression of worship - uplifted by prayer and grounded in care for others.
We get it! For faith to support you, it has to work in real life situations....a confrontation on the job, a crisis with a friend, an attempt at reasoning with your two year old. At least, that's how we see it at Tippe. We're here to help.
We not only recognize that God gave each of us a mind of our own, we believe that God expects us to use it, creatively! When you visit us, you'll hear the gospel preached with strength, gentleness, and insight. You will experience us praying, laughing and crying, singing and growing together.
So, if you're looking for a religion that makes as much sense on Monday as it did on Sunday, and a place that's as good for your soul as it is for your mind, give us a try.
Life-Giving Sunday Morning Worship 9:25 a.m.

It is an outreach to unchurched, dischurched and formerly churched peoples
of any and many faith traditions.
Further, its mission is to make spiritual formation opportunities
affordable to all people,
