where we stand.

What We Believe

!

God

We believe that God is a loving God who made the human being in God’s image. Therefore, all people are of value and loved by God.

Jesus

In Christ, the head of the church, God conquers sin and reconciles the world to Divine Love. We believe in God, and we follow Jesus.

Holy Spirit

God’s continuing presence and activity in the world.

Trinity

God, Christ, Holy Spirit are one.

Church

A community of people united in Christ through worship, work, and witness--not a building.

The Bible

The inspired Word of God. We take scripture seriously, not literally.

Service to Others

The mission of the Church is to work for justice and to establish God’s Realm in the world.

The Sacraments

We celebrate two: Baptism and Communion. It is through baptism that persons are joined in faith with Jesus and accepted into the fellowship of the church. The breaking of bread and pouring of wine are done in remembrance of Christ’s death and his resurrection.

u

Faith

Faith isn't not asking questions. It's asking questions, doubting, believing, and trusting. It's messy, it's hard, it's worth it.

WHERE WE STAND

God loves queer people

LGBTQ+ folks belong–in the pews, the pulpit, and in policy.

faith supports reproductive justice

Jesus never shamed women for her choices–neither should we.

anti-racism is gospel work

Jesus flipped tables.

You can call out injustice.

protect the planet. It's god's.

Creation isn’t a commodity–it’s sacred.

Justice is economic, too

Poverty is not a personal failure.
It’s a policy choice.

jesus was a refugee

Welcoming immigrants is not just politics–it’s discipleship.

Healing is holy

Jesus didn’t charge co-pays. Healthcare is a human right.

Faith over Firearms

We worship the Prince of Peace–not the Second Amendment.

voting is sacred

Supressing the vote is sin. Period.

keep church & state separate

Faith should guide compassion,
not control policy.
