Our Beliefs

Mission Statement

We are an inclusive, inquiring and involved church seeking to be a part of God’s loving transformation of the world by sharing hope, showing grace and serving our neighbors near and far.

Worship

Our worship has been called ‘warm’ liturgical. You are likely to hear a variety of music- from traditional hymns to spirituals, from classical to folk. We are ecumenical- meaning we pull from a wide variety of Christian traditions. When put together, our worship is historic, relevant, deep and hopeful.

Inclusive

As an inclusive church, we are welcoming to all. We embrace God’s beautiful diversity in all its forms, including race and ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity. We are young and old, some raised in the church, some new to the faith, and some not completely sure what we believe. When we say, ‘all are welcome,’ we mean it.

Inquiring

As an inquiring church, we love to ask questions. We respect the faith journey of all people and encourage exploration. We dig deep and challenge ourselves with ideas new and old. We value studying the Bible, but not just the Bible. We offer education to our church and community, including Christian education, values-oriented education, and other care which promotes adult, youth and child development.

Involved

We seek to be a part of God’s great work in the world by serving others. We look for ways to address hunger and housing issues. But we are also passionate in caring for the environment, advocating for immigrants and refugees, and seeking justice for the marginalized.
