CREATIVE

We are a church that is Creative. 
We believe that God created the world, and invited us to share our gifts as creative people. We recognize the movement of the Holy Spirit as we express our faith in a variety of creative ways - visual, musical, and theatrical. This is true in our worship, our work, and our mission.

COURAGEOUS

We are a church that is Courageous. 
We courageously claim our belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and Christ's commandment to courageously love God and love one another. We are courageous in our activism, our outreach, and our empowerment of others. This value leads us to be radically inclusive, social-justice oriented, LGBTQIA affirming, and open to all questions and doubts.

Compassionate

We are a church that is Compassionate. 
We believe that the Holy Spirit remains with us as a comforting, advocating force in the world. Because of this, we are a church who values service to our neighbors, outreach to the lost, and care for the world. We listen with love, because we are called to be a voice to the voiceless. We work with dignity, because we are called to fight for the marginalized.

Jesus gave the commandment to love God and love one another.

Our commitment to compassion and care for our neighbors is our response to this commandment. 

 

Our faith community is committed to three things, in principle:

  1. The courageous and radically inclusive and unfailing love of God, shown most powerfully through the ministry and grace of Jesus Christ.
  2. The radically inclusive and unfailing love for one another, shown most powerfully through compassion and service.
  3. The creative expression of our love for God and one another.
