God has sent us a vision - "Be a church that builds bridges and not walls!"
Our mission focuses on promoting the Common Good, by offering our neighbors love, hope, healing, value, and a place at the Table. We do this by living out our values of Community, Communion, and Acceptance. We need each other to realize this vision. Each person's life whom we encounter and embrace is a success and a right
eous step toward realizing our vision. Come worship the Lord in worship, join us at the Table and journey with others through studies and outreach, and experience the loving acceptance of God through fellowship and care. You have a place at the Table. We believe many things to be true. We are united by one belief -- Jesus is our Lord and Savior. We do not proclaim doctrines or dogmas, we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus the Christ. We see the Bible as the revelation of Christ that is still living and breathing in our midst. We believe the traditions of the church, creeds, and doctrines are educational in themselves; however, it is our faith in Jesus that defines our salvation and purpose. We desire others to know who Jesus is - you included. Disciples are students of Jesus, learning about what he has taught the apostles, interpreting the scriptures, and revealing his love for all he encountered and ministered. Learning leads to faith, faith leads to practice, practice leads to mission. We include ALL people in our outreach and ministries. Male or female, persons of color or white, gay or straight, seekers, doubters, or believers, republican or democrat - Jesus broke down these barriers and has united us. Therefore, as humanly possible, we are creating a church that welcomes ALL people to the full life and leadership of our church. We are an anti-racist, pro-reconciling church that seeks to include all in the Body of Christ. We come from many walks of life to serve the Lord and each other. We know we are not perfect - but we are being perfected in Jesus everyday. We are individual believers who make up a unique community. Communities help support each individual to grow in faith, learn new things, share our gifts and talents, lend a helping hand to those in need, comfort those who mourn, and celebrate the ups and downs of life. Communities help other communities on a larger scale. As with any community, we need YOU. Come just as you are, share as you can, receive what you need, and grow with us. We hope to see you soon and become a part of Christ's family!
