We proclaim Jesus Christ, promoting a community of joy, hope, love, and peace through worship, welcome, and witness.

Enriching communal and individual spiritual journeys by providing transformational ministry, vibrant worship, meaningful fellowship, and theological exploration;
Building holistic community through inviting, welcoming, and valuing persons regardless of economic status, social class, age, dress, sex, gender, sexual orientation, faith, or ethnicity;

Contributing to creating a peaceable society by engaging in our community and seeking relationship based on Christ's example;
Exemplifying Christ’s compassionate ministry by generously sharing our time and resources to end needless suffering, challenge unjust systems, and support local and global organizations who strive for similar goals; and
Being fully awake, ready to respond, and open to risking something new.
