Joined as a Congregation through the grace and teachings of Jesus Christ, we are called as disciples:
- To worship God together in wonder and in faith;
- To increase our love of God by increasing our love of neighbor;
- To connect the stories and truths of Scripture with our daily lives;
- To share our stories of faith with one another and our community;
- To open our lives to the transforming power of God’s love;
- To celebrate the liberation received through Christ’s forgiveness and to share that gift by forgiving others;
- To follow Christ to the side of all who suffer and despair;
- To be Christ’s messengers and advocates for social justice;
- To be generous and thoughtful stewards of all of God’s gifts; and,
- To welcome all people as children of God.
We invite all who wish to join us to share in the joys and challenges of this calling.
