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.
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.
