Vision Statement We are a community that values worship as the focal point of our lives together. We look for worship to strengthen us, to challenge us, and to inspire us. We seek to be multicultural and multigenerational. As individuals we value the freedom to be ourselves with unvarnished authenticity and to extend that freedom to others. We believe that all people are welcomed at God's Table. We believe that God can be reached through many paths and by way of many great belief systems. Our path is a commitment to understanding and following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe that no person, no text, and no church has a final word on God. Our understanding of God is best served by open inquiry, scholarship, and worship. We commit ourselves to seek, to love, and to serve God by caring for the earth and for all people in the communities in which we live and the nations of the world. O God, who created all peoples in your image, we thank you for the wonderful diversity of races and cultures and religions in this world. Enrich our lives by ever-widening circles of fellowship, and show us your presence in those who differ most from us, until our knowledge of your love is made perfect in our love for all your children; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN. - adapted from the Book of Common Prayer |
