We are a fellowship of Christians who seek to know Jesus Christ, to acknowledge Him as Lord of our lives, to make Him known to others, and to share His love in ministry to the world.
Our worship is Christ-centered and Biblically-based. We offer a variety of worship experiences which blend our heritage of Methodist, Reformed, and Quaker traditions.
History
Lyall Memorial Federated Church was incorporated in 1926, and the sanctuary was dedicated in 1927. The church is a federation of the Reformed Church in America, the United Methodist Church, and the Society of Friends (Quakers). However, many of us are members of other denominations. One thing that we all claim to be is Christian.
