Our Mission
Seeking God, Creating Community, and Serving Humanity
We seek God in our quest for deeper spiritual understanding. Through an honest sharing of our beliefs and doubts, we ask challenging questions that surround our Christian journey.
We create community through our openness. We acknowledge that each person is uniquely created by God and we welcome all people into this faith community.
We serve humanity by practicing peace and justice, working with all of God’s creation toward wholeness in our larger community, nation, and the world.
Our Vision
“To be a new kind of church that enriches lives, creates community, and connects us with God and all of Creation.”
Our Core Beliefs & Practices
• We stand firmly in the Christian faith tradition, acknowledging the ministry of Jesus as a way to deepen our relationship with God. We also affirm other faith traditions, and realize that they too are a way toward a closer intimacy with the Creator.
• We believe that the love of God and the love of neighbor are at the very core of what it means to be Christian.
• We affirm the gifts of the Spirit in all persons, recognizing that every Christian is a minister, empowered to do God’s work and carry out Jesus’ teachings.
• We embrace diversity by: acknowledging that all people are created in God’s own image, and understanding that we all see and experience God in different ways.
• We celebrate Communion weekly, believing it to be central to our worship. And just as we believe that we are all accepted by God, we too welcome all people to Christ’s table.
• We believe that Baptism is a gift from God that connects us to the life and teachings of Jesus. As a faith community affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we recognize all forms of Christian Baptism.
