Our Core Values

We worship God through liturgy, prayer, Scripture, and traditional music.
“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24)
ACCEPTANCE
We welcome everyone with equal respect.
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NRSV)
“My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.” (James 2:1 NIV)
CHILDREN & YOUTH
We nurture children and youth in faith, hope, and love of God.
“Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” (Mark 10:14 NRSV)
MISSION
We share our time and resources to serve the physical and spiritual needs of individuals and communities.
“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40 NIV)
LIFELONG CHRISTIAN FORMATION
We are formed into the image of Christ through education, fellowship, service, and worship.
