Mission

Vision Statement:
We are a community that values worship as the focal point of our lives together. We look for worship to strengthen us, to challenge us, and to inspire us.

We seek to be multicultural and multigenerational. As individuals we value the freedom to be ourselves with unvarnished authenticity and to extend that freedom to others.

We believe that all people are welcomed at God's Table.

We believe that God can be reached through many paths and by way of many great belief systems. Our path is a commitment to understanding and following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

We believe that no person, no text, and no church has a final word on God. Our understanding of God is best served by open inquiry, scholarship, and worship.

We commit ourselves to seek, to love, and to serve God by caring for the earth and for all people in the communities in which we live and the nations of the world.
