We are a community of faith which embraces and reflects the rich diversity of culture, language, race, ethnicity, and nationality that characterize our city and our world. We are a community of hope and acceptance which embraces the future, while recognizing both the lessons and the reality of pain and failure that are part of the past. We value forgiveness and healing, as well as the courage, cre
ativity and imagination to discover the possibilities of a future based on the promises of God. We are a community of love, valuing each individual and responding with compassion to the needs of the world. We are a place where people are encouraged to grow and empowered to serve – in practical ways that make a difference in others' lives and our larger community. We are committed to the importance of relationships, and believe authentic friendship creates a family of faith where all are at home. We hold to the historic Christian faith which remains not only viable but vibrant in the twenty-first century! We believe that the love, purpose, and salvation of God are fully revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; that the Bible is the inspired Word of God; and that the Holy Spirit continues to transform lives today, empowering us to love and serve God and others throughout our journey in life.
