Our Mission
Inspired by the words of Micah 6:8 our mission is to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with God.
We envision a world that embraces community, celebrates inclusivity, expresses creativity, seeks transformation, and practices simplicity.
our Core Values
Community >> Faith is a journey best traveled with others who share common values and a common commitment to life together. We strive to be formed as a community steeped in God’s love, expressed in loving relationships with one another, and engaged in the larger community in which we live.
Inclusivity >> No one is outside the bounds of God’s grace. We strive to practice generous hospitality, welcoming and embracing everyone with the same love we have received from God. We affirm the sacred worth of every human being – no exceptions.
Creativity >> At the foundation of our faith is the story of a God we call Creator – a God who is continually in the process of creating, who gifts us with creativity and invites us to create. We strive to incorporate music, drama, visual arts, dance, and other creative elements in all that we do.
Simplicity >> In a world preoccupied with materialism, consumption, and greed, we long for a simpler way. We strive to live simply, both individually and in our life together; to generously share our resources and practice faithful stewardship of God’s Creation.
Transformation >> As we journey inward, we strive for transformed lives that better reflect the love of Christ. As we journey outward, we strive for a transformed world that better reflects God’s vision of peace and justice.
OPEN and affirming
No matter who, no matter what, you are welcome.
We worship an inclusive and loving God, who calls all persons into relationship, both with God and with neighbor. In response to this love, demonstrated most perfectly in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves as an open and affirming community, welcoming and celebrating people of all races, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities and disabilities, economic situations, and social statuses.
We declare ourselves to be open and affirming, fully inclusive of the LGBTQ community, and advocating for a more inclusive church and a more inclusive society.
