Our Core Values
Bold Faith in Christ
Because we trust in God’s promise and understand faith to be a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, we are emboldened to embrace learning and growth in our spiritual and communal journey.
Community for ALL
We need each other! We are committed to a life together that builds relationships, trust, faith, and confidence in our common mission. We seek to be an intergenerational community of faithful followers of Jesus as we mentor each other in the lifelong journey of faith.
Bold Service and Faithful Stewardship
The gospel calls us into the world to live a life of generosity and love of neighbor. We will use our God entrusted resources in a way that honors God’s creation and for the sake of those in need outside our walls.
Inclusion, Diversity, and Justice
As Christ’s church, we value our common humanity and our differences. Our unity is a celebration of our diversity. We are made stronger through our differences. We recognize and will challenge dynamics of power and privilege that create barriers to participation and equity in this church and in the world.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we strive to embody forgiveness and reconciliation in speech, in action, in relationships, and in all we do. We understand forgiveness and reconciliation to be foundational to God’s work through Jesus Christ in us and through us to the world.
Our Vision
We envision & pray for a just world where ALL people know Christ's inclusive love and experience the transforming difference of God's grace.
Our Mission
Filled with God’s forgiveness and grace, we seek to bring healing, wholeness, and justice to ALL people and creation.
