Belief Statements:

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF FAITH COMMUNITIES WORKING TOGETHER

We strive to listen when God is speaking, and act boldly together to make a difference in our community. We build collaborations across boundaries of religious differences, as well as with community organizations, to do the work we are called to do. WE BELIEVE IN NURTURING THE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL IN EVERY CHILD

We

focus our collaborative efforts on building supports around and creating opportunities for children and families. WE BELIEVE ALL PEOPLE HAVE EQUAL VALUE AND ARE LOVED BY GOD

We seek justice for those who are not treated equally or given equal value by our broken world. We strive to lift up the unique gifts and abilities of people and empower them to be who they were made to be. WE BELIEVE IN EQUIPPING ONE ANOTHER TO CREATE STRONG HOUSES OF WORSHIP

We build relationships among clergy and people of faith, and support and encourage one another. We provide information, resources, and connections to enhance the work of congregations, ministries, and community organizations.
