Our Mission Statement
Born of God, abiding in Christ's Love, we are called to worship, minister,
discover and share gifts of the Spirit.
To sustain our mission we are committed to the following values:
Inclusiveness
We recognize each person's uniqueness and dignity as a Child of God. We invite and welcome all persons to worship and serve.
Prayer
We pray for one another and our world; we rely on prayer as we
conceive, plan, and carry out ministries and activities of this church.
Bible
We read, study, preach and teach God's Word, thereby empowering Christians
to follow Jesus in every sphere of life.
Worship
We worship in the company of followers of Christ and seekers of the
Christian essence to bring us closer to the Spirit of God. Variety of
expression, diversity in spiritual scope and congregational involvement enrich
the character and meaning of worship.
Witnessing
We witness to others by living out the Gospel of Christ in word and deed.
Service
We share our many individual and corporate talents and resources with each
other as well as with the larger community to the best of our abilities.
Education
We provide programs of spiritual growth for all stages of life. We educate
people for life in the Church and global community by providing curricula and
resource materials for Christian learning.
Fellowship
We envision our congregation as a family. We strive for a caring and
supportive climate through Christian fellowship, and intergenerational activities.
Spiritual Gifts
We provide a place for each person to discover, cultivate and apply those gifts of the Spirit which God has given.
Environmental Stewardship
We recognize God's creation as a precious gift. As part of God's creation
we are called to actively conserve and preserve the Earth so all may live in a
healthy and sustainable environment.
Membership
We expect members to accept the responsibility of willing service,
financial support, and regular worship.
Ecumenism
We support and encourage participation in ecumenical and denominational programs.
