To nurture a community of courageous followers of Jesus and inspire love of God and love of neighbor. Our Vision
To be a place of unconditional welcome and a beacon of God’s love. The greatest Commandments are to love God and love our neighbor. We strive to demonstrate this love through our compassion towards one another and the world in which we live, by engaging with those in need in our local community as well as the members of our own worshipping community. We practice radical hospitality and inclusiveness, and building a worshipping community of comfort and challenge for all people of every kind of household and all ages and stages of life and faith and doubt. All that is required of us to do justice is to have love, mercy and walk humbly with our God. We work for justice and peace in the community and world through advocacy, service and prayer for the poor, the oppressed, and those in any need or trouble. Understanding the causes of violence, and working to bring about a society in which conflict is resolved through peaceful, nonviolent means. We are Transformative. We as Christians are called to continually renew our hearts and minds to better discern God’s will and help restore God’s kingdom. We seek to experience and share the transformative power of God by creating worship that brings us direct and intimate relationship with God and each other through innovative, sacramental, participatory and celebratory liturgy.
