Mission Statement

We are a community that embraces

God's radically inclusive love.

We affirm the moral values of Scripture, which tells us to 'do justice, love kindness

and walk humbly with God.'

We lay claim to the Biblical imperatives of welcoming the marginalized, giving voice to the oppressed, and honoring all people.

We work for justice in the here and now, rather than salvation in the hereafter.

We ask the hard questions and don't accept comfortable answers.

We refuse to leave either our hearts

or our heads at the door.  We believe that doubt is an honest expression of faith. 

We are convinced that God has a sense of humor and we are the proof.

We acknowledge our differences, treasure our common humanity, and learn humility from our faults.  We encourage each other to expand our intellectual, spiritual

and emotional horizons while holding within our sights the promise of becoming

our better selves.

We challenge each other to take risks and honor the courage in failure.

We see our church of imperfect people transforming into a church of infinite possibilities.

We are as contrary as Jesus.
