As
an open community we invite all people into nurturing relationships
with Jesus Christ through worship, witness, fellowship and service.
We
follow seven principles and core values:
Welcoming
: Because God welcomes us in Christ we welcome all
without exception.
Discernment
: We seek to listen for God's Spirit, allowing God
to touch our lives.
Thinking
faith : We welcome honest inquiry, honor and explore
the Bible, and aim to connect our lives with its ancient wisdom.
Unity
in diversity: We ask God to make us a varied
community where our deepest differences are God's gift and blessing.
Worship
and Witness: We look for worship where God meets us,
transforms us, and empowers us to be Christ's witnesses.
Love
and Justice : Because Christ's love is
the measure of our lives, we resist domination and violence, praying
that our life together will demonstrate Christ's better way.
Hope
: Trusting in the risen Christ we look
forward in faith, because the oldest thing we know about God is that
God does new things.
