We Believe...
- In God, Jesus Christ (the Son of God resurrected) and the Holy Spirit, who guides and brings about the creative and redemptive work of God in the world.
- In relationships. We believe in our relationship with God, who loves us unconditionally and who is willing to be in relationship with us if we just ask. We believe in the relationships of our human family, from whom we gain strength, support and love. And we believe relationships change, growing in ways that are expected and unexpected. We believe spiritual journeys are unique and individual, and should always be nurtured.
- All people are welcomed to Christ’s table for communion. By breaking bread and pouring wine together, we celebrate Christ’s presence among us – and we welcome all to join us in this celebration.
- God calls us to help others and be good stewards of the earth’s resources. It is not enough to think about caring, we must act on our thoughts.
- In possibility. Our church is open to all discussions on belief, hearing different sides of issues allows us to explore and learn. We believe “God is Still Speaking.”
