Our Mission

• Foster an environment where all are welcome --

  We will model Jesus' radical inclusivity and hospitality by welcoming and affirming all people, regardless of their age, sex, race, ability, or sexual orientation.  

• Serve others through local and global outreach --

  We will empower everyone to be in ministry as an expression of their discipleship.  

• Create worship opportunities where people can feel the presence of God

  We will work together to offer glimpses of the mystery of the holy.

• Help people to sense that the Spirit of God is always with them --

  We will nurture a rich inner life through prayer, meditation, and intentional spiritual practice. 

• Nurture individuals as they grow as disciples of Christ --

  We will reach out to those who are seeking a deeper understanding of their faith and utilize contemporary theological scholarship to wrestle with the questions of life and meaning that often have no easy answers. 

• Encourage a trusting community based on fellowship and faith --

  We will make honesty, integrity, and trust the focus of all our relationships. 

• Facilitate and expect active participation in ministry from all --

  We will be engaged in the world by confronting injustice and by being present to the hurts and needs of real people.
