We respect, celebrate, and embrace the dignity of every human being, in all their diversity, striving for justice and peace.
We seek to follow Christ’s command to love our neighbors as ourselves by ministering, in word and deed, to the world around us.
We encourage intellectual freedom in our understanding of scripture and tradition.
We acknowledge God’s goodness in ourselves, in each other, and in the world. We actively seek forgiveness and reconciliation with God and with each other.
We strive to create inspiring worship, thoughtful Christian Formation, and intentional hospitality, connecting us to God and to each other.
We recognize Christ in each and every person. We invite people, of every ethnicity and ability, looking for healing, love, forgiveness, and acceptance, and seeking to find or recover a spiritual home in Christian community, including families, children, young people, older people, couples, singles, and LGBTQ persons.
